I *never* use UPS anymore, unless I can't ship any other way. DHL will obey your wishes, whether they be to hold the package for you, or to just leave it on the doorstep. UPS ignores my notes completely. ("UPS: if I miss you, please leave package on step", etc.) They won't even leave it for you if you call ahead of time. Every time a package comes for me I have to go pick it up from them or arrange for an alternate delivery location. So, I've stopped using them entirely.
