UPS Adventure
In preparation for an overseas trip, I ordered several items from Amazon, scheduled to arrive Wednesday via UPS. When they didn't, I checked UPS Tracking. It showed that my package had been delivered Wednesday morning at 10:00. It wasn't. My wife and I were home then, working out in the front yard, and no UPS truck ventured down our road. So I contacted UPS, and they began an investigation. The next day, they called back to explain that my package had indeed been delivered Wednesday morning at 10 - to a different address, in a different city, and signed for by someone named Wilkes, not Cotten!
So the driver was sent to retrieve my package. Somehow, he did! It showed up today. Yes, the box had been opened and some of its contents evidently dropped, but everything was there, and apparently in good working order. Wow! Package delivered to the wrong address, in the wrong city, and signed for by someone whose name doesn't remotely resemble mine, and yet, somehow, they worked it out! I'm glad, but Wow! cotten

Yeh, I’d say this represents a very big “WOW” on the incompetent delivery person scale....

Glad it worked out. Vandals have attacked my mail box three times this month. Since I am a EBay and Amazon user, it is unsettling.
On a related note, when I send packages to my daughter's family in Alabama the packages are left in the rain or at the neighbors house. If I get a notice of delivery and they cannot find, it usually at the neighbors house. Still, that logistics work at all is amazing to me. With all of it's problems, that I could get something from China and delivered to my door is truly a wonder.

If there is a hub near you - it may be best to do "hold at location". Maybe they'd be able to handle that better
