My UPS delivery time is normally quite consistent - between 12 and 12:30
- so if we go out to lunch and errands (which is most every day) we will
not be home when the UPS man arrives.
Fortunately, I have a waiver of signature and release on file, thanks to
UPS MyChoice, so the driver leaves the parcels at the front door.
There are times when the sender has explicitly required a signature, and
that can cause a delay in delivery.
For USPS, the normal carrier and I have a similar arrangement - he also
delivers in the 12 to 12:30 timeframe. There are pre-signed delivery
slips in the mailbox, and he leaves anything that cannot fit in the
mailbox at the front door.
I have not been able to make similar arrangements with FedEx, so
customers requiring a signature might encounter a day or two delay, but
they do not deliver on any regular schedule.
I have between 3 and 8 parcel deliveries every week, so I do have more
experience than most. Yes, different areas may not be the same as I
encounter, but both the UPS man and the USPS carrier know me well.

Well, with UPS, delivery time is a crapshoot.
