There are partnerships between them whereby they transfer delivery for the "final mile". One way to know for sure what is arriving at your postal station for you is to sign up for USPS Informed Delivery. That will be a daily email with images of all mail that is being delivered, and tracking numbers for any packages. https://reg.usps.com/

I’m on a first name bases with the UPS drivers. ��

If the tracking number begins with a "9" it has been transferred to the USPS and it will most likely be delivered to the postal station. Sometimes, they will deliver a package to your house. If it begins with "1Z" it will be delivered by UPS to your house. If it begins with "TBA" it will be delivered by Amazon to your house. If it is a FedEx package, it will be delivered to your house. The only packages that are ever delivered to the postal station are USPS packages that have a tracking number beginning with "9".

Thanks. Very useful information.

Dang. Had no expectation of learning so much in one little thread. :-) Cool.

Thank you, but honestly, how in the world did you figure this out?

I get a lot of packages. And, the USPS will only handle packages and mail where postage has been paid.

We'll be moving into TV the same day both UPS and FedEx will make deliveries. Will these come to the house or to the mail center?

Thanks!

Depends on the size of the package, if they are large, they will be at your door.

An option I have found very helpful in ensuring Amazon packages make it to you dependably is to specify Amazon Key Delivery during the checkout process. This option allows the delivery driver, either UPS or Amazon delivery truck, to place your packages in your garage.

To do this, you will need something like the MyQ device and app, which allows delivery drivers a one-time access to trigger your garage door opener by scanning the barcode on the package. MyQ, which is less than $30 from Amazon, is a device that works on your home WiFi, and allows remote access to your garage door via an app on your phone. Besides being a great way to check the status of your garage door, or remotely open and close the door, it is also what is used to allow the Key Delivery. When I bought the MyQ device over a year ago, Amazon was offering a $30 credit for signing up for the Key Delivery service. You also get notifications on your phone showing when your garage door opened and closed. This service has worked flawlessly for me.
