Every time I have had anything delivered via UPS, they leave it on the deck on the side of my house (it runs to the front). They NEVER ring the bell or knock on the door. In my neighborhood, nothing is likely to get stolen, but still.
Then again, I've read that while UPS drivers made good money, UPS tracks them by GPS and has standards for how much time everything should take - down to the number of steps it takes to get from the truck to the front door and how much time is allowed for each step. So I would think they have to make up time wherever they can. I *DO* feel for them in this regard. Because you just know that some a**hole manager at UPS wants to make them account for every second of every day with no regard to what the job actually entails.
