I've done that (after 3 failed delivery attempts). The problem there is that for many, it's not exactly a "just swing by and get it" proposition. those are typically opened limited hours and mine at least is a 25min drive each way. certainly not impossible but further accommodations for someone not doing their job is hard to stomach.
I wish part of the standard service was an option to leave at the ups store of your choice for you to pick up whenever you wanted.
