But I am home at 1pm, and they still didn't actually deliver the package!

UPS has a service called My Choice where you can have the package redirected to a UPS store or you can sign for the package and have it left at your door. Though I think the latter is dependent on the service that the shipper chose.
For a fee you can have it delivered to a different address.
I've used it a handful of times.
When I ordered a watch band that for some ungodly reason required a signature they would accept anything. Wouldn’t take it anywhere else. Wouldn’t accept the signature on the back of the “sorry we missed you” paper. Wouldn’t let me change anything online. They came 3 days in a row (Wed-Fri) before informing me they were returning it to sender. Luckily they tried again on Saturday and we were home.
Imagine thinking that a delivery service where each van has thousands of packages is going to cater to each and every recipient 🤣 👌
Bruh I work for a postal service and you should read the complaints.
Knocked too loud, knocked too soft, used the doorbell and it scared me, put my parcel in my mailbox instead of bringing it to the door, delivered my parcel when I was working from home, delivered the parcel to my husband and it was his birthday present, when the postman delivers my parcels my dog barks, I ordered size 12 pants and you delivered size 14...
Anyone who thinks parcel people are stupid... our staff are no dumber than your average customer.
And probably drives on the most efficient route for their run.
You're about halfway along the run? They'll always pass you about halfway through the day.

Not if orion and management have anything to say about it lmfao
Here in NZ I believe they mostly can set their own routes, being 'independent' contractors.
I have heard Amazon in particular is super tight in the US.
This is about ups, not Amazon... In America ups isn't independent contractors, thankfully. That's a shit ass union busting system designed to defeat worker wages
Amazon's model means they're not especially tight; they run routes all day across larger distances.
I am happy we have these guys here around every corner:
Love these things. But I get annoyed when I get the message: "Die Sendung konnte leider nicht in die gewünschte Packstation eingestellt werden und ist in der Regel am nächsten Werktag in der Filiale am anderen Ende der Stadt abholbereit (bitte Öffnungszeiten beachten)."
I'd be annoyed, too, because my German isn't that great
We have those but for the public delivery service... And post offices all over the place as well instead of one office of each of the private alternatives for a city that's 45km long... I wish people would just use Canada Post and let the private sector die.
We have one of these in my building, except it's shipper-agnostic -- amzn, ups, FedEx; even purcolator if they can find a 30-storey building rising the highest above this sea of wwi bungalows today (50-50). It's called a blue box.
It's so much better than amzn just ditching packages right inside the front door so anyone sneaking in behind a resident can quickly steal it. It was bad at our old place.
You prefer 1AM post deliveries?
At least you get an accurate delivery time you can plan around. Not just between 8am and 12pm or 1pm and 7pm
"By end of day"
Every delivery company anywhere ever
