How can I make sure that UPS delivers my packages to the right address?




What's the fun of online shopping if your packages never arrive?

I have had many instances when UPS incorrectly delivered my packages. The reason is the driver's lack of attention. Even though my street is well marked they miss a turn and end up on a street that has exactly the same name, except it's a Road, not a Street. I assume they have GPS, they simply don't use it. Here is what I did. Amazon offers a service called Prime. Generally, you have to pay for it, but you can also use it free as a trial. Amazon makes sure that you don't feel bad about using something that you will cancel. In fact, they make it extra easy to cancel, but for a month you can be ordering numerous items that are worth just a couple of dollars and have them delivered by UPS or FedEx in just two days or less. You better believe that the drivers will know your address well from now on! Actually, I feel like I am doing something nice for everybody in the neighborhood, too.
