I have a big, wide front porch with a roof, yet some Fedex driver kept setting shipments against the wall, in the grass, sometimes in the rain, next to the side door. Calls to Fedex did no good. Finally, someone must have really raised a fuss with Fedex, so the packages started showing up on the porch. I've never had such problems with UPS.
