UPS may leave packages in a variety of locations, depending on the delivery instructions provided by the sender and the specific circumstances of the delivery. Some common locations where UPS may leave packages include:
– At the front door or porch of the recipient’s address
– In a secure location on the property, such as a garage or shed
– With a neighbor or building manager who can accept the package on behalf of the recipient
– At a UPS Access Point location, such as a nearby store or business that has partnered with UPS to accept packages for customers
Ultimately, the decision of where to leave a package is up to the discretion of the UPS driver, who will consider factors such as the size and value of the package, the weather conditions, and the safety of the delivery location. If a recipient has specific delivery instructions or preferences, they should communicate these to the sender and/or UPS in advance to ensure the package is delivered to the desired location.
