All shipping carriers are unreliable, self-serving and inconsiderate.
There is none that is better than any other, just like cell phone
companies. When it comes to home delivery--especially to apartment
dwellers--delivery services, no matter which company, treat their
customers shoddily.
The *only* solution--short of eliminating delivery services from your
life--is to find a local business that will be glad to use their
address to receive your packages. Of course, you must trust them, and
already have a good personal rapport with 'em.

I've never had a problem with ANY carrier's package delivery -- going or
coming. The USPS and first-class mail is, of course, very different.
The businesses across the street used to have a rubber stamp -- "This
mail mistakenly delivered to Bell & Howell" (or whatever business
occupied the building at the time). It didn't stop until the building
was torn down, but now we get mail addressed to our neighbors and vice
versa.

Allow me to join in. Yesterday I almost tripped over a package
delivered to me from FedEx, I was expecting it the next day, so that
was fine. I saw the delivery guy dropping off next door and I spoke to
him. "Everyone else knocks on my door or at least puts the package
behind the screen door." He looks at me like I'm speaking Martian and
says, "OK". Too cool to be true.
I've had two packages go missing, both 'delivered' by FedEx. I have
cancled orders once I learned they were being shipped FedEx.
