I also happen to prefer Ups over Fed-ex . Heres why - Fed-ex always , well 99% of the time requires a signature , the items I've had delivered that they wont leave and what they will leave . They left a brand new HP computer on my doorstep , no signature . Had to drive to the fed-ex distribution hub near by to sign for a bunch of travel brochures . Makes no sense whatsoever . My UPS girl is great , if she leaves something she hides it a bit so as not to see it from the street . As for USPS , I generally like them for package deliveries , as for my mail , I think my mailman hates me , totally . He puts any envelopes inside any magazines or circulars and then places them open side down so something always falls out on the ground .
