UPS vs. US Postal Service

[Grandpa Shooter]

Twice now the local UPS guy has opened our front gate and entered our property.  First time the idiot drove in and left the gate open, and just before Christmas, a different high IQ UPS guy opened the gate and walked in with 9 dogs and banged on our front door to deliver an envelope.  There are 5 dogs of ours and 4 we are watching for friends.  HUH?  Post office drops mail other than packages at our box on the corner, and leaves us delivery notices for packages.  Go in to the PO and Irene looks up and says, "Hang on and I'll go get your stuff."

USPS all the way.

With a little bit of squishing down, you can get 15 pounds of green coffee beans to fit in a medium flat rate box.  The coffee co-op that I am a member of uses this method to mail each other green coffee beans.

My problem with all three is that they don't seem to want to bother ringing a doorbell and getting a signature for packages and/or certified mail.  The postman will just drop a note in the box saying we have a certified letter to pick up at the Post Office and of course we all know about FedEx and/or UPS just leaving packages at the door.

UPS at least gets it to the door.  Fedex leaves it a half-mile away on the country road, or else calls and asks if we can come meet them in the nearest town 20 miles away.
