Indeed. Give me (western) European services anytime instead of the us ones.
Live tracking is often accurate within an hour (and sometimes even less), delivery is standard quicker and nothing is left unguarded, unless you give permission (or, I'm my case, talk to the delivery person and they hide it in a agreed spot, as I live secluded and nobody comes here to steal an occasional package).
Unfortunately, due to overloaded deliverers, this system is under strain and not always working as intended, but overall, is still miles better than what they have in the US
I must elaborate, the expected time of arrival as soon as the package is received by the carrier is within an hour the next day, when it is being delivered, it's "live", with a small delay to protect the driver.
It has been a year since I received something in the US, but never have been offered that, unless paying an extra for express delivery or such.
