local USPS mailman at my parents house is a lazy POS. Also, as the house my parents built a bunch of years ago was in a private development, it was double addressed for a long time until the USPS updated their systems. So about 4 months ago, without telling anyone in the development, they started rejecting and returning to sender any mail with that didn't have the updated USPS street address on it. Residents discovered it completely by accident when mail slowed to a trickle.
Fedex is no better, just this past week i had a package shipped to me from a vendor in California that they misrouted and then siad it was out for delivery for 4 days in a row and never delivered. They even assigned a "lost package" agent to try to find it, but kept telling the shipper it would be delivered "today". It's day 16 that the package has been bouncing around the fedex system, and it still hasn't been delivered.
UPS has been rock solid.
