I live in an apartment complex, and I find that the general issue is that carriers just can't/won't bring packages to your door. With the exception of ONE delivery out of at least two dozen, I have never had a package come to my door.
I always get notified by the apartment building late in the day when they are either closed or I am out for dinner/errands, so I have to wait until the next day to actually get the package. It's always N+1 day shipping with this setup.
As much as it annoys me, I am not sure there's an answer. Can carriers really be expected to actually go to every door in a sprawling apartment building with all of their deliveries for the day?
Why not? I wouldn't pay my telecom for getting my data only as far as the nearest switching station. Why should I accept an almost-all-the-way-there delivery from a shipping company?
