It is illegal for FedEx, UPS, and carriers other than the USPS to deliver to a mailbox because the U.S. Postal Service has a monopoly on delivering mail to mailboxes. This monopoly is enshrined in federal law, and violators can be fined.

This happens a lot. Your package will be given to UPS when they drop off packages for USPS to deliver, which is usually daily at most post offices. It is the same if you accidently drop off a FedEx shipment.

If your package is less than one-half inch thick and weighs less than 10oz, you can use postage stamps and drop off your package by: Putting it in your mailbox for carrier pickup. Dropping it in a blue collection box or Post Office lobby drop-off box.

UPS tends to move packages from one city or town to another but then deposit your package with your closest post office so that its postal workers can then deliver the parcel to you the next day after the transfer of the package.

A UPS Access Point is a third-party outlet where you can drop off packages that are going to be handled by UPS. It's an alternative to needing to travel to a designated UPS store. You can also pick up packages from an Access Point if they are delivered there.
