My UPS driver is equally annoying. In the absence of a written notice pleading with him to ring my unit, he'll leave a UPS spoor (aka a post-it note alleging I wasn't there) and run away. More than once, I've been in all day only to be greeted by the sight of a UPS spoor on the way out in the late afternoon. It's like he's afraid to touch the entry system or something (does he think it'll give him cooties?).
I just wish they don't leave my packages on the doorstep, quietly...
End result is that UPS "three-day" "service" ends up being more like "eight to ten day", "over three day", or "we'll deliver it when we feel like it" service.
I think I'm going to start requesting parcel post delivery whenever possible. Even if the mailman doesn't ring my unit, they hold the package in a local post office instead of holding it hostage in a UPS sorting facility way in the outer bumfuck port district industrial lands and taunting me with multiple lying notices. It's worth paying a premium for that alone.
