I received 2 packages this evening that were listed (per tracking) as shipped via UPS then transferred to LaserShip. They arrived in a town one mile away from me on Wednesday, but were not delivered until today. The delivery guy drove up in a large UHaul truck.

I actually prefer USPS delivery. Packages are usually delivered with the regular mail and the carrier knocks when I have a package. 

A while back, I had a string of problems with Amazon local delivery and I don't trust them. UPS gives the delivery day, but the window is too big.  USPS rarely fails me.

I saw that story.  Amazon did say that the snow storms in various parts of the country last week contributed to the delivery problems.  I'm not concerned, I got all my packages on my designated delivery day.  And QVC seems to have resolved it's shipping problems, for the past month my friends and I have received our QVC packages in a timely manner.  The fact is that if you absolutely, postively must have something on a specific date or if you are one of those shoppers who likes walking out of store with your packages in your hands;  online shopping is not for you.  For me, online shopping is the only way to go now because I love choices.  I can't go back to being limited to what is on the racks of some store.  When I shop online, I can have anything I want at a price I want to pay.  And it comes to my door.

I have no problem with USPS or  UPS,  Fed Ex is the one that drives me crazy.  So far my Amazon orders have all been delivered on time.

I live in a high rise with a 24 hour Receptionist/Security Guard manning the Front Desk.  No one gets past them. 

 

Every package that comes into the building is scanned in and the resident is notified immediately via email and text.  I received a package this morning at 2:41 AM

Mine too.  I think 90% of my packages are delivered by the Amazon's vans.

No problem with Amazon for me.  USPS here has started delivery of packages really early.  I have had deliveries of packages around 7 a.m.  UPS--I don't know if it is them or QVC, but my items take way too long.  One of the reasons I'm watching and also buying a lot less from QVC.  I did buy two different TSVs recentlly, but they took   forever to ship and still haven't arrived.  Looks like they may be here middle of next week.

That doesn't explain the year round order and shipping mistakes/delays that I have experienced year round with QVC for almost the last two years.  

USPS is bad as they drop off packages on our driveway to sit in the rain even though we have a large, covered front porch. I see the most horrible holes and tears in boxes labeled fragile too. I wish UPS would not have started dropping off at the post office. They don't seem to have as high of standards as UPS. 

 

Fed Ex does top it off lately as they dropped an expensive TV off on our driveway while is was raining. Luckily I got home soon after. It's a hard 20 feet to walk to our porch apparently.

We haven't had any problems receiving our Amazon orders within the 2-day timeframe. Sometimes we get them within a day of our order. Within the last week or so, they've been really good about sending DH an email when our package has been delivered and knocking on the door before leaving.
