I just wish they follow Amazon and allow me to choose a day(s). Tired of planning for a day only for it to be rescheduled

Where I live most couriers only ever drive out 2 or so days a week.

I always get delivery notifications (NOT Expectations, notifications, i.e. your package will be delivered on the 15th). But the 15th is then a tuesday, and they only drive out on a wednesday. They will then mark the parcel as "failed to deliver", usually with something like the "business premises of the recipient was closed" - even though I am not a business but a residential home on residential property. Then magically the following day they deliver it.

If the parcel is notified for delivery on a wednesday, it arrives just fine.

I’d actually prefer it if I could tell UPS and FedEx to only deliver on a specific day (or be told that for my area deliveries are only Monday, Wednesday, Friday) - no need for the trucks to roll all the time.

I guess they don’t really have that much to deliver.
