The classic Western Union scam was to send a first telegram to a friend: 

MESSAGE TWO FOLLOWS

and, a day later, to send a second telegram:

DISREGARD MESSAGE ONE

I guess you had to be there.
I had good results from UPS until a year or two ago when a package was delivered to me by mistake. I called UPS and they could not have been less interested. After a couple of days with no action I looked up the recipient, who lived nearby, called him, and he came around and picked the thing up. UPS never followed up. I decided I would never again use them for anything. 
  OTOH the much maligned USPO seems to be very reliable.
