Well, the fun part with USPS always sticking the package in the wrong door was obnoxious upstairs neighbor instead of either putting the package in my door or leaving it in our common laundry room like a sensible person would always wedge it into the newspaper hooks underneath my mail box right way it was plainly visible to anyone passing by on the road.
The first time it happened I checked the tracking on USPS (which is usually pointless) on a whim and it said "Delivered". I knew I'd never recieved my package and I'd already gotten my mail earlier in the day. So I go out in the dark to hunt for my package and find it wedged there. I was furious, thinking the mail carrier had done it for some unknown reason. So I bent the prongs down so the mail carrier wouldn't be able to put packages there anymore. Next package, same thing happens. Since I can't imagine a mail carrier going through the effort bend the prongs back up to wedge a package in them in plain sight, I deduced what had actually happened. I was enduring a mail carrier/obnoxious neighbor stupidity team-up attack.
Now the obnoxious neighbor is gone. I imagine the next time I get package shipped USPS I'll have to spend several days checking the door for the upstairs apartment until my package arrives unless someone moves in before then.
With UPS, the first time they leave a note. I sign it, and leave the porch door unlocked with a note that says, "stick it on the porch and lock the door!"
And they do. Or they have so far. I have something being delivered today.
You mean Deep Down?
Ah, Plei. My sister in pedantry. I was going to do it, but I figured I'd lay off him for...I don't know, I made up a reason.
Ah, USPS. I hate them. I have stairs. Not a lot for San Francisco, but stairs. My postal people will occasionally deliver mail. Not often of Friday tho. I assume it is his day off. When the lady had the route I was lucky if I got a delivery to my mail box twice a week. Once she couldn't be bothered. I saw her throw the mail on the bottom steps.
Yes, I have complained to the Postmaster General. A short time later the carrier told me he didn't appreciate my complaints. Service got worse until he changed routes.
I hate the post office.
Hmmm, everywhere you go package delivery may be screwed up by either UPS or USPS.
So nice.
My plan is still to leave a giant message and hope for the best.

See, you're a more forgiving soul than I. This would be the point at which my new hobby would become making myself more of an inconvenience to the postmaster than replacing the crappy carrier would be.
You mean Deep Down?
Aha, the pedant trap worked perfectly.
reloads it with "Josh Whedon" from stash of UhmActuallies.
UPS is reporting that my order has been delivered to doorstep. Let's see if the box is there when I get home...
