The photo that UPS provided to prove that they delivered my package. I mean, sure, it’s my front porch, but they could have included the package.

Looks about right.
For a while Google had the roadmaps to the property right but not Apple. Using your eyes it was easy. Following the app blindly, not so much.
Found a box at the back of the property clearly tossed over the back fence, no where even visible from the house. Compliments of UPS.
Btw if you have Apple Maps, it's decently easy to submit an address correction, they usually update with corrections within a week or so. Google maps is also easy enough, but they seem to take a bit longer to correct.
This is really useful to know if you buy a new build house.
The speed of Google Maps corrections seems to strongly depend on some internal reputation data they have from your previous submissions and the kind of submissions you make. The more you contribute accurate stuff, the faster your future contributions go through the system.
Unfortunately, I've never found a way to submit corrections to Apple Maps from a Linux system, so there continue to be a dozen or more places where I know Apple Maps is wrong but I can't help them out with fixing it.
My house had wrong directions for both Apple and Google maps. Google had it fixed within the first year. Apple, going on 6 years and 4 attempts, remains incorrect.
In my experience Google maps is ok although not brilliant. It more or less knows where my house is but the location isn't really right, but it gets you close enough. Google maps often locates businesses in weird places where they obviously aren't, and quite often it'll put every business on the street into a single building, which admittedly would be very convenient, but not really accurate to reality.
If you want accuracy you have to go with OSM which practically maps the location of every pebble.
I've done customer support for delivery companies, although not UPS, and the caliber of the drivers is definitely something that is very variable. Sometimes I'm amazed they even have a license.
There are certain properties that they seem physically incapable of locating, even though there doesn't appear to be anything particularly interesting or odd about the address, and I can find it easily by googling it. There must be some kind of temporal anomaly that I'm unaware of. So anyway, that job sucked.
