Not trying to defend the USPS because I have suffered from my share of screw-ups, but I have also experienced screw-ups from Fed Ex and UPS as well. It all depends on the delivery person. Some of them have common sense and some don't and if the delivery person does not have common sense then it does not matter what uniform they wear.

As one who sends a lot of packages I find that the USPS Flat Rate Priority Mail service cannot be beat. Neither UPS nor Fed Ex can come close to the USPS pricing -- especially for the 2-3 day delivery time.

It's even worse when it comes to international delivery: pricing, customs forms and processing make UPS and Fed Ex prohibitive for me...

For the OP: if the package was sent a priority Mail or Flat Rate you should be able to file a claim (can even do it online); you just need the DC.
