When I was in an apartment I hated it when USPS got my package. When I wasn't home, they'd take it back to the post office which meant I had to then drive to the post office, at a time when they were open (which conflicted with my working hours). UPS or FedEx would leave it at the office.

Now that I'm in a house, I much prefer USPS if only because my post man comes by at 9am and UPS/FedEx don't come by until 2-3pm.

I've had the exact opposite experience in every apartment I've lived in (like....10 now?). And USPS typically has a postal key to the entryway so they can leave packages inside. The best case scenario with FedEx has always been that they may ring a bunch of buzzers randomly before leaving the package on the doorstep and driving off.
