On top of that, the odds are pretty good that your package is going to arrive somewhere between 11 AM and 4 PM if you don’t live right on top of a UPS facility. The people at the extreme ends of the delivery window (9 AM and 9 PM) other folks that live closest to these facilities, allowing for deliveries at the beginning and the end of a UPS driver loop to stay really efficient. But that’s going to be very, very rare indeed.
#Arrives by end of day drivers#
UPS drivers regularly show up at their local UPS office well before 9 AM – but they spend a lot of time working with the infrastructure crew at those facilities to sort, load, and organize their vehicles for the most efficient delivery during that day, too.Įvery now and again you might be able to get a package from UPS earlier than 9 AM. That’s when UPS is really overloaded with packages and parcels, their commitment to making sure that they get everything to their customers in as timely a fashion as possible never waivers. It’s very rare for UPS to deliver packages any earlier than 9 AM, however. Sometimes packages are going to arrive a little bit later than 9 PM local time, especially during the busy time of the year around the holidays. UPS Ground deliveries are (generally) going to be dropped off at your doorstep between the hours of 9 AM and 9 PM (local time) Monday through Friday every single week. What Time Does UPS Deliver During the Week?
Ground shipping packages bounce from one network to the next whereas most air shipments via UPS are going to find themselves at a national hub (usually a major international airport, like the World Hub in Louisville, Kentucky). After arriving at that next network hub the packages rerouted continuously along the most efficient path to its ultimate destination, eventually landing at another local UPS facility, loaded onto a UPS vehicle, and then delivered to your doorstep. All of that happens inside out between one and seven business days (and sometimes a whole lot faster than that)! From there, that package is brought to a larger UPS center where it ends up getting sifted and sorted into either UPS Ground or UPS Air categories. After that, your package is bundled up with a bunch of other packages from that central hub to be distributed via either ground or air delivery systems. UPS takes advantage of a similar infrastructure that FedEx uses (as well as a similar structure that the USPS now uses, too), the essential “hub and spoke” network model that makes deliveries a lot more efficient. Your package starts off in the UPS process by getting dropped off at a local UPS store or facility for being picked up by a UPS driver.
But somehow they pull it off! At the same time, everyone wants to know when their packages are going to arrive – not just the day it’s going to show up, but (at the very least) a ballpark time of the day that it will arrive, too. Most shipping companies just don’t have the ability to drill down to that kind of granular level when it comes to giving you a delivery estimate. UPS, on the other hand, has found a way to make that possible. We dig a little deeper into that below!īetter Understanding the UPS Delivery Process With all those packages zooming around at once it’s a miracle that UPS is able to deliver anything as quickly, as efficiently, and as consistently as they are able to. United Parcel Services (best known as UPS) was first created over 100 years ago – all the way back in August 1907 – and has established itself as one of the most popular shipping and delivery services, not just in the United States but around the world as well. Especially popular with online merchants and e-commerce operations, UPS is a shipping partner of choice for millions and millions of business owners across the country – sending 24 million packages every day all over the world.
