I suspect a lot of performance variation between different companies in different geographical areas.
We send and receive parcels every day and in our experience the very worst is Hermes and anything through parcels to go (cheapest routes). Cheap they are but we cannot risk using these sort of people.
A delivery form Hermes the other day for example (supposed to be a signed for delivery) was just dumped outside our entrance gate, lucky we saw it !
The best seems to be Post office "special delivery" (well insured) never let us down ever. This must not be confused with Parcel Force who are very average.
UPS seem pretty good (especially worldwide), although not perfect, you can at least talk to a sensible human who always eventually seems to find the item.
To a certain extent you might get what you pay for.
