Worst Delivery Service Ever

If you purchase a product on amazon.com, they will ship it through a delivery company called UPS. This company is a piece of crap compared to Japanese carriers. First, they don't deliver on Sundays and public holidays. Second, they return the package to the sender after 3 failed delivery attempts. This really sucks!
Is it common in the U.S.?
アメリカのアマゾンで買い物をするとUPSという運送会社が配達に来る。この会社はクソだ!第1に、日曜と祝祭日に配達してくれない。第2に、不在が3回続くと商品が送り主に返送されてしまう。こいつはクソすぎる!アメリカではこれが普通なのか。

Last week, UPS tried to deliver a package, but I couldn't receive it because I didn't have a day off during the week. They had already made 2 delivery attempts when I found their delivery absence notices in my postbox last Friday. 
先週、UPSが荷物を届けに来たが、平日に休みを取っていなかったので受け取れなかった。金曜日に郵便受けの中の不在通知に気づいたときには既に2回配達が試みられていた。

I was very concerned. At this rate, the third attempts would be made on the next Monday and the package would be returned to the U.S. 
これは困った。このままでは3回目の訪問が完了し、荷物がアメリカに返送されてしまう。

So I searched through the internet and found this website. 


Having followed the instruction on the site, I asked UPS to send the package through Yamato Transport, a Japanese carrier, which operates on Sundays and public holidays. 
そこでインターネットで検索してこのホームページを見つけた。このサイトの説明に従い、UPSに荷物をクロネコヤマト経由で送るようお願いした。クロネコヤマトは日曜日と祝祭日も営業している。

That was successful and I was able to received the package.
これがうまくいって、荷物を受け取ることができた。
