I'll also chime in - it's a rural thing. I've lived in suburbs or urban places most of my life and never had any issues. Now I live in the boonies and I see this UPS/USPS thing happening a lot. The funny thing is, UPS delivers to us almost daily because we order a lot online and my H works from home. Our local mail service is sketchy, so we always choose UPS if we have the option. Since this started happening, now we can't tell HOW or even IF we'll get packages. And since UPS does come by so often, I can't imagine why they'd ever use the post office. Bizarre and frustrating!
