    UPS, the world's largest shipping company. Apparently it's no big deal to them if they lose a package. I imagine they're heavily insured. Just sucks for the customer when the package is lost.

    Not an option really. If I had it redirected to a neighbor, I'd have to have all packages sent their or set it up every time through the delivery company. It would be a hassle. It would be best if people weren't thieving fucking assholes and didn't fuck with other people's shit.

Where the dreamer and his dream?

    What you should do, is have UPS hold your package. You can have them hold your package at a nearby UPS customer service center, free of charge, for 5 days. You can then pick up your package yourself during business hours on any of those days.
    "You are not free whose liberty is won by the rigour of other, more righteous souls. Your are merely protected. Your freedom is parasitic, you suck the honourable man dry and offer nothing in return. You who have enjoyed freedom, who have done nothing to earn it, your time has come. This time you will stand alone and fight for yourselves. Now you will pay for your freedom in the currency of honest toil and human blood."

    Is this a permanent option you can log with the local UPS office? I'm not looking forward to having to contact UPS each time I expect a package. I was doing that a while with Fedex and it's a hassle as well as adding a day or two to the shipping process. With Fedex, if you create a delivery exception while the package is in transit, on the day it is supposed to arrive it still goes on the truck for delivery to the local Fedex station and won't be available for you to pick up until the next day. Not a big deal with 2 day shipping, but still bullshit that I can't receive packages on my own front porch without some asshole helping himself to it.

    It's weird since this is the US and there are fucking thieves and criminals everywhere, but UPS has made itself very successful with this delivery model. It cuts down on repeated delivery attempts which saves time, gas, and effort.

    It seems like there are options for this to be done automatically, but I'm not familiar with the service or the cost. Something about you being a 'mailbox holder' (which probably costs money) or a UPS My Choice Premium member. Here's a link to information concerning the latter:

    And yeah, you're right about the package usually making it to the delivery truck before they pull it off, but UPS has usually been good about pulling it off the very morning they receive it at the hub (in my experience).
