UPS delivery time

[hornadylnl]

What's the latest UPS has delivered to your house? They routinely come around 6:00 pm but I've got a delivery today that still says out for delivery and it's 6:45 pm. I'm guessing I'm at the end of his run.

I've had them drop off as late as 8PM, but it's rare.

I've gotten a delivery from UPS between 6:30-7PM before. Guy told me he had gotten held up doing something and it put him behind.

 

[hornadylnl]

It's marked as out for delivery at 6:59 am. Is that the driver scanning it and loading it into his own truck or is there a crew that does that for him? If it's the driver scanning it, these guys have to be putting in 12+ hour days routinely.

Never after dark in my neighborhood.

I've had them come about 6:30 before.

 

[hornadylnl]

Just got it at 6:53.

730 once. Was waiting for my laptop. That was at my old house though, now they come way early because of all the businesses near by.

FedEx chick didn't know how lucky she was to go home one night. I really don't appreciate people wandering my yard with flashlights in the dark. I saw it on the camera and met her at the door. She was somewhat startled. My UPS guy knows me; we wave at each other on the road.

I think the latest they're supposed to go for residential address is 7:00.
They always show up before noon here, though.

My UPS guy makes two runs through the neighborhood each day....priority first, ground second. He works 60 hours a week. Usually the second run is no later than 7:00 p.m. But during Christmas....it can be as late at 10:00 p.m.
Like I say...he's capped at 60 hours...so it's all a matter of when they cut him loose in the terminal in the morning.

A buddy of mine works the pre-load in Louisville, he's done the 2 or 3 AM to 8 AM for years. I've asked him why he doesn't bid on a driver job, and he says he doesn't want to work the long hours the drivers do. Pretty much 12 hour days all week, they make good money, though. I've had deliveries as late as 8:00 PM.

It seems to only show up really late if it's something that I really really want.

 

[tom1025]

It depends on the nature of the shipment. When I use to drive I would have shipments come in on comercial flights and have to deliver to residential address at 1 am.

 

[repeter1977]

ive had one delivered after 8. Happens, depends on the season, and I know UPS is cutting back, making drivers work more then the already 60 hour weeks. Just like the Steel Mills around NWI, with all the constant overtime could hire more people instead of trying to kill the ones they have.

the latest for me is 1pm, fedex on the other hand who i dont like has come as late as 9pm.

They were by about 7:45 a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately they are undependable so you can't plan. Somedays they will be there in the morning between 9 and 10; and if no one is home they leave a sticky on the door saying they will be back the next day and have checked both the 10:30-2:00 and 2:00-5:00 boxes. When they return it is usually closer to 7:00.

The routes are run with the way the, package cars, are loaded each day. Drivers get shuffled and service suffers. Their load info is put into the boards they carry instructing them how to run the route, if everything goes correctly which it dont. The hand held board they carry sends real time info back to the center so they can track EVERY movement they make.

It's "out for delivery" whenever the loader scans it and puts it on the truck. The truck can run to different times each night. My girlfriend's dad is a driver for them. Some nights he's home by six, some nights ten. It just depends on the time of the year, how many drivers call in sick, and how many pick ups they have that day.

My driver says DOT regulations limit them to a maximum 60 hours per week.

(Which he says is a good thing, otherwise UPS would have him working 80 hours a week during Christmas.)
