I think the trouble with Fed-Ex parcel delivery has it's roots in the manner
in which drivers are paid - it is my understanding that the Parcel Delivery
trucks that came from the old Roadway Package delivery and were repainted
Fed-Ex do not actually work for Fed-Ex. they are independent contractors.
Thus a delivery that is out of the way does not pay enough to make
delivering package profitable so they send it back.
Where I live (town of just over 10,000) we have two Fed-Ex letter trucks and
one Parcel truck. Letters and air packages are on letter trucks - normal
packages are on package truck.

Put up a big sign saying deliveries welcome. You might go as far as
making a call to the local Fed-Ex office to chat with the manager and
explain that you're not going to shoot the fellow delivering you a
new toy. Take the guy around and show him the big Green Machines.
