Sounds like UPS Basic service, not Mail Innovations. Mail Innovations is primarily for 1st class mail, not packages. Basic is a stripped-down version of UPS ground. Some packages to rural destinations are shipped to the USPS and they make the final delivery. Most UPS Basic packages are delivered by UPS right to your door. The company shipping the package made the decision to use UPS Basic to save money on shipping. Do a Google search for UPS Basic to learn more about the service.
