Well, at least the battery hasn't drained and you assume the while thing is broken and order a new one.

All of the parcel carriers (UPS, FedEx, DHL) have that as a low-cost option, since the driver can drop a dozen packages at the PO instead of driving to a dozen different houses to drop them off. You typically have the option to pay extra for full parcel-carrier delivery when you order from wherever (ebay, Amazon, random website).

I was aware of that but this was the first time I had seen UPS make a blatant "we know the USPS sucks so give us $$$ to deliver it to you personally" offer. I have actually been looking for it, too.

If the USPS didn't suck, UPS and FedEx would never be in existence.
