The furthest UPS would deliver it to was Earth.

Clarify "make it to Earth"?
I don't approve with the theory that some outside factor is responsible for life on our dear planet...
If you mean why is there no life on other planets in our system then it cause Earth is in the best place for life growth. Temperature span, amount of light exposure, etc, on our planet are most agreeable in our system for life forms. You know as well that no planet has the same weather conditions as Earth, and as far as temperature goes Mars is the only planet even remotely close to ours.

How many planets have we checked out? You can't fly to the moon and claim that because there's nothing organic there...that NO other celestial object has organic matter. They've recently found several planets that possibly contain water, which is essential to life as we know it. Why so quick to discount the possibility? There are as many planets in the universe as there are grains of sand on every beach in the world. Are you so sure there isn't organic life on one of them?

Where do you think organic matter originated, before it "came to Earth"?
The answer is that anyplace you find carbon and energy, organic compounds are likely to form. They've been identified on other planets of this solar system and undoubtedly exist on the planets of others as well.

Actually, many believe that organic matter did make it to other planets... recently microorganisms were found on one of Jupiter's moons...
But, it's thought that life only thrived on Earth because it was the only one with hospitable atmosphere...

It probably has, it's just that earth, (and others, they now suspect) has the atmosphere and proper temperatures to support life as we know it. A mean difference of only 20 degrees higher in temperature will probably cause extinction for most life here.

Organic matter didn't make it here it just sat there long enough without being disturbed to form the building blocks of life.

We do not know that organic matter does not exist on other planets.

Organic molecules have been found in dozens of meteors. Nothing as complex as DNA, of course, but simple organic molecules are, in the words of Carl Sagan, "easy to make". They are found all over the place.
Life, however, has not been proven to be all over the place.

It's not for certain, but it is most probable that the organic matter was created in primeval earth.
