Fedex gave my package to my random neighbor without asking me. WTF?! Isn't this a violation of privacy, some kind of breach of contract, and a financial risk to me? [more inside]

A company was able to send us (domestic U.S.) a board game by something called "UPS Ground S.D.P." Black label, all handwritten, no billing details on the label, and a tracking number like "K58375718" which is absolutely untrackable on the ups.com website. What is this? How come almost everyone else (and myself) uses the large UPS shipping labels and 1Zxxxxx tracking numbers but they don't?

Has anyone here looked into the best priced shipping options at their work? Our office seems to ship nearly 85% UPS and I was wondering if anyone has opted for another carrier that was as reliable and was cheaper?

When a person chooses to send a package via UPS or FedEx, and s/he chooses not to opt for the premium one- or two-day delivery, will the carrier hold the package (rather than delivering it) at the nearest hub for a day or two to spite the tightwad shipper? In other words, if they could deliver it faster than promised without incurring extra expense, do they still delay the parcel's delivery so the service isn't any faster than promised?
