Ring Doorbell App Packed with Third-Party Trackers

I'm in the US, and I have a UPS depot that I can walk to if I miss a delivery with signature required, and that depot is open from 10AM-9PM seven days a week. The absolute maddening part is that, instead of taking undelivered packages to the depot at the end of each day, they wait until the next business day!

I try to avoid using UPS when I can, since they are the most user hostile delivery service in my area. I have more of a chance of getting a package on time when they leave it on my porch unattended.

This is part of why FedEx has been doing deals with companies like Walgreens, where some locations are open 24x7. This is in addition to their FedEx Office (was Kinko's) locations, some of which are open 24x7.

Amazon has "Amazon Lockers" that are available in many places in the US, many of which are open extended hours, and some of which are open 24x7.

These are not the only options.

Even the USPS has Post Office Boxes, and many US Post Offices have external spaces where the PO Boxes are accessible 24x7.
