This is nearly identical to the experiences I've had with all three carriers.
1) I had a shipment via FedEx get sent to the same street name/number in a different town. When I reported it as unreceived, I was told it was delivered (which it was, just not to MY house), but the seller was nice and mailed it again. It again got sent to that other town. I think we could see on the tracking where it ultimately ended up, so the seller saw it wasn't my fault, and sent a THIRD package. This one got to me.
2) UPS also doesn't leave packages at the front door. Instead of leaving them WHERE OUR HOUSE NUMBER AND MAILBOX IS, they leave packages at our side entrance. I should mention that our "front" door is also on the side of the house, i.e. not facing the street, so UPS isn't doing this for security purposes (preventing theft, whatever).
3) USPS: rare issues. Only real issues is that sometimes I get a notification that an item is about to be delivered/was delivered today, but it actually shows up the next day. VERY rarely it shows up two days later. I've learned to be patient if I get a delivery notification from USPS and there isn't a package.
