[QUOTE="SeniorGeek, post: 204163, member: 4823"] I have had USPostalService leave packages at the road (and my driveway is long and the house is not visible from the road), but UPS has never done that. It is my understanding that packages eligible for DR (Driver Release) can be delivered to locations eligible for DR on the [U]first[/U] delivery attempt...so there is no need for a second attempt. Here are my suggestions: When you call 1-800-pickups, first get them to track the package. Ask what the DR location was. (This is selected from a list, so it is a limited piece of information - the list includes things like GARAGE, PORCH, BACK DOOR, MAN, WOMAN [for when it is handed to a person without getting a signature].) Next, ask to open a "concern" about the package. This prompts your local center to contact you to try to resolve the problem. (Most concerns are opened for missing/lost/damaged packages.) If you are adamant that the center prevent this from ever happening again, your address can be flagged as ineligible for DR. Many centers have never done this (because UPS's DR rules prevent most problems), so your center may not know this can be done. [/QUOTE]
