I always have both deliver to my business address. I know the UPS guy and he will acctually put stuff inside my garage instead of leaving it out in the open if my wife orders something and doesn't use my work address.

I guess I have been very fortunate over the years, I have never had a major problem with either.

It all depends on the driver.
At my old place, had a Fedx guy who was great. My lab would bust out of the house and run get in his truck. The first time it would happen I asked him to back up the drive, pull forward and yell "we are home". He did it and my lab bailed out of the truck and ran to the door.
Dude thought it was hilarious and looked forward to going for "a drive" with my dog if he escaped and got in his truck. Guy always put my packages under the covered front porch and tried to get his deliveries done early. He even started carrying dog treats and was disappointed if the dog didn't escape and go for a ride.
Company I was doing business with changed to Airborne express. First driver was good. Second "no speeekeee no engleeeee" driver sucked. He put a shipment of wedding photos up against the garage door IN THE RAIN when I had a covered front porch 30' away. I ranted all the way up to the district supervisor.
Next delivery..... garage door. Garage door was in plain sight of the street too.
Had to change from one of the best photo labs in the country one with slower service so I wouldn't have a job get ruined or disappear from the poor delivery services.
Fedx guy at our place now is great. UPS guy sucks. He came to do a delivery and actually took a Fedx package off our covered front porch and carried it around to the side door and left it on the stoop in the rain with the UPS delivery !(watched it on security cam) Mo-ron.
Our USPS contracted carrier is hit or miss. She once spent 10 minutes strapping a small package to our mailbox with 11 rubber bands. Funny thing was she was trying to avoid pulling up the drive to within 10' of our front door and getting out of her car. It was raining lightly and she got soaked wasting time with those stupid rubber bands. I watched the whole thing and walked 150' to the mail box, retrieved the package and was a whole lot dryer than ol lazy.

We work on FedEx's road tractors where I work. They call us up and tell us how much they are gonna pay for each job we do. They will not pay a dime more either. Pisses me off, next time I ship something I'm gonna tell them how much I wanna pay and see how they like that.
