I think service for any of these companies is highly variable and dependent upon locale. Perhaps it's a culture thing. The USPS worker never rings my doorbell for left packages and just yesterday a package was delivered damaged in my mailbox. I live in a nice part of town (I think) but the service culture here may be different than where you live (and different than other locales where I've resided).

Completely agree. Multiple times I've had USPS drivers report packages as "delivered" late in the day when they were not delivered at all, then they are actually delivered the next day. Sure makes their metrics look better, though.
