I live very close to the square and a lot of foot traffic goes by. Only recently my girlfriend/roomate had a box go missing. Very dissapointing but fixed quickly by UPS, now it all goes to work.
I prefer UPS over FedEx for home delivery however. UPS will let you go online and stop the repeat delivery attempts and have them hold it, especially when you know you wont be home during the day. Then you can go pick it up at the hub.
With FedEx, I could not figure out how to do that. So I had to wait for the driver to make three delivery attempts, all the while knowing I wouldnt be home to accept the shipment, then drive up to North Reading to pick the thing up. UPS is right in Somerville, also a bonus.
