Well, with UPS, delivery time is a crapshoot.
I've had normal UPS shipments arrive at the house anywhere from 10 AM up
to 8:30 PM.
In the latter case, I'm not even talking about the holiday season (it
was Halloween).
I had given up on that delivery, even though the status showed that it
was out for delivery, so we went out for dinner.
When we got home, I checked the delivery time on the UPS tracking site,
and it was approximately 8:30.
Today, I'm waiting for a delivery that was shipped via UPS Second-Day
Air. Here it is 1430L, and no package yet.
To be fair, though, the delivery commitment is stated as "By End of Day."
Joining UPS My Choice is a good idea. I can give them authorization, on
a one-time or a blanket basis, to leave any package that doesn't require
a signature.
While UPS deems the QTH to be in a safe delivery area, I have to admit
being a bit nervous about a nearly-$800 CrankIR antenna being delivered
when we were out for a while yesterday.
As luck would have it, though, we were both here when the truck pulled
up at about 3 PM.
I expressed surprise to someone at Elecraft that they ship high-value
packages without requiring a signature, but that was explained to my
satisfaction.

I don't use UPS for outgoing shipments, but I use them for incoming
