Until FedEx decides to reinstate door delivery, I will NOT use them. They were my preferred carrier too. The drivers stopped coming up the driveways with packages around the first of December. They left a case of oil that cost $135 in the snowbank, next to my mailbox and many other neighbors packages the same way. All of our driveways are at least 200 ft long and we can't see our mailboxes at the street. I just happened to be outside when this happened and saw it, so got my package, but anyone could have been following that truck at a distance and been picking up all of it.
UPS has left a bad impression with me several times over the years too, but that low cost method for inexpensive items may be a good thing.
AFAIK, UPS does not own those "Stores". They are privately owned and that's why the cost is so high to have them pack and ship. When I chose to use UPS, I preprint labels off the UPS site and drop packages off at the store.
