Is it because of Covid? I mean they're dead worthless now, I wish fedex had a little more coverage.

It was happening before Covid, in my experience.

I would order ammo online; you know, the "HEAVY" box.
My deliveries started getting later and later, after 9pm wasn't unheard of. Once it was after 10pm, on a Tuesday. And the irritating thing was that with the UPS "track your delivery" map, that fricker was in my neighborhood around noon... but then he'd leave and go all over the area before returning. He just didn't want to pick the boxes up.

Was a couple of times they tried to say I wasn't home, and it would be delivered to some "pickup center" dive joint. This was some ratty cellphone/tobacco joint on the side of a gas station. I had to call and complain that
1) I was off work and home, and was waiting for the delivery, and
2) I don't want my packages dropped off somewhere else. Leave it at my door or return to sender.
