Eagerly awaiting my Komplete 10 Ultimate upgrade for over 2 weeks, figured it would take some time like it normally does. So eventually I started getting worried and tracked the package. Turns out UPS had made 3 unsuccessful attempts at delivering it and then returned to sender. Did they bother leaving a single delivery notice so I could make arrangements to pick it up from the depot? Nope. Not a single notification, even when it was due to be returned. How freaking hard would it have been for this guy to do his job and leave a note? I expect this crap from the USPS but not UPS which has always been good in my experience....

That sucks.  I've never had UPS do that to me, they've always left a note.
 
having said that, I do prefer FedEx to UPS.  they seem to be quicker delivery to me.

The UPS driver was probably caught up in his NY minute and didn't bother to leave a note.

Or, somewhere is a guy with three notices on his door for a package he didn't order... 

The award for the most annoying deliveryman has to go to USPS however, when he put a post office collection notice in my mailbox for a package that was less than half of the size of the mailbox. And not only that, but the collection notice specified the wrong post office so I hauled ass all the way across town for nothing. 

UPS twice misdelivered my stuff to my neighbor last summer. I'm guessing the regular driver was on vacation because my house is located such that you almost have to really try to mess it up.
 
Based on that and the fact that I was at the end of their route and sometimes didn't get stuff I was anxiously awaiting until 8:30 PM, I signed up for their "My Choice" thingy and I now just have them keep my packages at their nearby location where I can pick them up at my leisure and don't have to worry about stuff being misdelivered, stolen or left out in the hot/rain/cold. I also get notified automatically when stuff ships and tracking updates.
 
I've also had problems with Fed Ex sometimes, and they have a similar service I now use.

If it wasn't Ultimate that you ordered, you could've downloaded it........all 91GB's.  
 
 
 

Our UPS guy in Vegas is very dependable. We also share a mutual interest in the sports book. He's real good with hockey and football picks.

For me UPS is the most unreliable and expensive delivery option. I go out of my way to specify the Post Office if I order online. The fees UPS charges can often be higher than the price of the item being delivered and on more than one occasion I've seen them leave parcels on door steps ready for theft.
 
We need to appreciate a functional postal service as a component of our society. It's like drinkable tap water. Use or lose it.
