actually UPS isn's supposed to leave a parcel without a signed consent.

They left a $2500 camera lense outside my house, and I filed a complaint, they actually were going to refund all shipping costs.

I would NEVER use UPS to ship livestock, that just not reliable enough, purolator is bad too.

FedEx is the best of the worst

actually i know a driver for ups and he said thier new policy is ring and run to save time . so unless you request signature they wont do it just leave package and run they dont care about service just your money

UPS is awefull
My first online order with BRS was left at my door. It was for over $450 and it was sitting on my doorstep, in plain view of the street, when I got home.
I contacted their supervisor and they told me it's up to the driver's descretion ie; they've not yet lost a shipment in the neighbourhood from theft.
Needless to say I was peeved.

I was following a shipment online and suddenly it showed that it had been delivered. Brs package worth $700 so I start scouring the condo complex. I found it eventually on the back porch of a vacant unit near mine. I was beyond choked. Their trademark is the ring and run.

It's unfortunate when the shipper uses them
I wished my last shipment had the option of USPS
I received my package today from ETC Supply for a new Ranco.
It cost me $45ish for the brokerage etc.
