That doesn't make sense. The guy had to drive 3 times back to the place, which wasn't close by, to try to retrive the package. Then he still had to drive all the way back to me and get me to sign it. A signature the first time around would defnitely been more speedy. Although with the guy leaving the notes on the door, I think he was following that mentality.

I've only used Airborne once, things went fine and the package showed up right on time. As for UPS, getting a package delivered next door would be something I consider not bad. They dropped off my subs to a house a few miles away and just left them on the front porch even though a signature was required. In my area, they were damn lucky to get them back. Took them 3 days too.

watched the web site go from "Out for delivery" to "At hub" (the day before
and 2 hours earlier).
When they delivered it the next day, they dropped it at the wrong house, one
house over.
