Same here as the below responses that regular USPS carriers do a great job, substitutes are hit-or-miss (a couple of weeks ago I saw a substitute driver make three passes down our road trying to figure out what went where). Often USPS ends up doing the last-mile stuff for UPS and FedEx here, where they just drop it off at the local post office and our postal carrier does the rest.

When actually delivering to us UPS does a great job too, particularly given the odd and unwieldy stuff (wheels and tires, bundles of fruit trees, custom cedar lumber from a sawmill, etc.) that they've had to deliver to our place over the years. Only problem is that we're absolutely at the end of the UPS route so we often get stuff delivered long after dark.

FedEx is usually good but it seems that every time they pick a different door on a different building on the property and leave the package there. So I'll see the FedEx truck leaving and then have to go hunt for where the delivery went.

Amazon has from time to time experimented with using their own delivery service here, and it's sometimes been a bit of a mess. It appears that they'll wait a few days until they have accumulated enough packages that need to go out this way, and then deliver them all -- unless it gets dark before they finish, in which case they'll go home. And we have occasionally received an e-mail saying that their driver has been unable to locate our address and that we need to contact Amazon with alternative delivery instructions. And then I have to point out to them that there are only around a half-dozen houses on our road and if they can find the road at all they should have no problem finding our house.
