re: Ever have UPS claim an attempt to deliver was made

Nope. Whoever delivers to my place is like a fricking clock. 6:30 give or take ten minutes and my stuff is at my door.

That being said, when I lived elsewhere, I had one motherfricker try to deliver something mid-afternoon that required a signature, checked the box and asked for a later delivery only to get the same "I was here at 1 pm" bullshite letter anyway and had to be at the distribution point at 5 am to get my package. frick that delivery guy any way possible. arse cancer would be good.

The one who delivers to my place now, though, that guy is a goddamned champ. Right on time, every time.

ETA: Never had one flat out lie about trying to make a delivery, though.
