I've received packages though UPS a day early.

The issue is prioritization. If you're loading a truck and you're responsible for making sure all packages due on that day are delivered, then when you see a package due at a later date, you set it aside. Those guys are all monitored every minute of every day. Why would anyone chance their bonus or their yearly review to deliver your package a day early? Nobody gets paid extra for an early delivery, but they do get dinged when a package arrives late.

Received several packages that had clear footprints on them. Obviously they choose to use packages on the bottom as step stools to get to the top of the stack. Not cool.

The package is the size of a large book.

I've been shipping/receiving from UPS for 35 years, yes, they hold packages.

  Don't feel so bad. I had purchased a pair of speakers. Fedex deliverd one and two days later I received the second one.The boxes where shipped at the same time and labeled 1 of 2 and 2 of 2. You are correct they do hold packages !
