My UPS depot is in the middle of nowhere and I do not own a car. Fortunately there is a retired couple in Apt 1 of my building who are very nice about accepting packages.

My UPS guy comes at night.
I think they were talking about when they come to deliver packages.

I have called and made a doctor's appointment. Now I need to indulge in retail therapy as a reward for... acting like an adult, I guess.

Oh, what was it? Someone came into my office as I was watching, so I missed the end.

UPS would never deliver my packages in Berkeley and I wrote many complaints when the driver would do things like ignore my neighbor who was watching for him and walk away when she offered to sign for my stuff. And then there was the time they changed the delivery address on something, without my permission, because I'd changed it once on a previous package.
Here they manage to toss them onto my porch without a problem.

Oh, I did hear that! Good one. No, I'm sorry, it's not the same. It may be good enough, but it is not the same.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I remember the one time I had eyeglasses delivered to me via Airborne Express and they never buzzed my apartment (I was home that morning) but instead left the package sitting on the sidewalk in front of the door, when they could have at least opened the door and put it inside the lobby. Anyone walking by on the sidewalk could have taken it with nary a hitch in their step.

I am very, very glad I live in a building where there are people at the front desk who sign for packages. In a neighborhood close by they have constant problems with deliveries - drivers who make no attempt to knock or ring the bell and, against all requests, leave packages on the front porch ... where they are immediately stolen. Someone rigged up a camera and caught the UPS guy dumping the package and the thief barely waiting for him to clear the porch before grabbing it.
