UPS delivers packages up to midnight?

[Maiora]

I never received a ground package today and it's after nine pm on the right coast of America.

So I figured I call to see what kind of excuse I'd be given and the lady informed me that they do indeed deliver up to 11:59PM! :shocked: WTF! Seriously?

I know I will not get this today but really that's ridiculous. Tracking currently shows OUT FOR DELIVERY with scheduled delivery of 06/06/07. :|

i should be getting my xeon 3060 (e6600 equivalent) and ac freezer 7 pro...i talked to newegg online and asked the guy if the packages could possibly be delivered in the morning. he said that it could be delivered at any time, from the early morning, to late at night!

I was told by their support line that residential deliveries go up to 7pm in my area.

See, that's what I want. I don't care what service they use, even if it costs me another 3 bucks and takes an extra day. I want to be able to specify a time or at least a range for delivery. All they have to give us is "8toNoon, Noonto5, 5to9" and I'd be happy.

Smart idea! I wish I could do that because I go to college, and my schedule isn't exactly the best

i don't see how that could be done. they have a set route and it would screw up other deliveries. they would have to hire a sh!t ton of people to do this.

There'd definitely be a whooooooooole lotta stuff to work out, but doing ranges like that is more feasible than letting people say "I want it at 8:30." Everybody's going to want it right away at 8 or between 430 and 5.

Latest I've ever had a UPS package delivered was 8:30pm.
