Having recently experienced a similar UPS package misdelivery from
the Immigration Service, (containing somebody's vital awaited
residence information?), and after great difficulty in getting
through by telephone, I'd reached an outfit which I was informed is a
joint endeavor between UPS and USPS (US Postal Service), and that I
should give the misdelivered package to "my letter carrier!"

(There're reasons I didn't walk around our large block - once again -
to deliver it myself. My age, my disposition, and the fact that's
it's a rental house where I've gotten a surly response from an
unshaven, scruffy, just-awakened, thankless grouch at 2:00 PM, as
the post office not infrequently puts letters and an occasional small
packages through my front door addressed to the next block over. QED.)

Next day, I tried to give it to my "letter carrier" who promptly
responded, "Nov Smaz Kapop" - you have to be old enough to remember
that - looking at me as though I were from Mars. Fortunately, the
following day the large brown truck stopped directly across the
street and I ran over and presented the package with an explanation -
the driver also indicating I was from Mars. But he, unlike my
"letter carrier," took what I handed him

It would appear this joint UPS/USPS lash-up ranks up there with the
USA's atomic secrets. Or Congressional/Executive e-mails.

Mysteriously, five days later a USP man knocked on my door to pick up
their misdelivered package. Life goes on.
