UPS in my area always delivers in the evening (after 8 PM), and is slower than fedex for every purchase I've had...toboot UPS will drop items on my doorstep without ringing the bell, without asignature, and will actually physically "drop" boxes in front of me on the porch...i'm sure they know whatever they are carrying is 50-80 lbs and will probably get damaged by that handling. I don't know how it is there, but here UPS is all highschoolers - they advertise on TV and the paper asking for highschoolers to work for them 4-5 hours a day. Most highschoolers I know don't take a job cuz of any reason but earning money..so they really wouldn't care if a package gets damaged (seeing they won't holdtheir job long anyways once college comes, they could care less if they get fired from a damaged package or two).
