We've had US Mail delivered as late as 8:45pm.. lol

Count yourself fortunate. My package is still lost.

Don't feel too badly for the delivery driver. It's their time to get some overtime hours. Could even be a temp driver earning some extra money.

I talked to a late working UPS driver one year at Christmas time. His truck is loaded with packages at the shop and he HAS to delver them all that day. That is why they are working so late. They don't want to be working at 9 PM at night no more than you want them to deliver your packages at that time. It pays their bills though.

I just found this one on my porch. Didn't expect anything today. I posted about the customer service experience in another threat. Thing is tracking didn't work, glad I found it. It's supposed to start raining later.

I had a desktop computer delivered in a March blizzard. Luckily I saw the tracking update that said "delivered to porch". I don't have a porch. But there was a package on neighbors porch across the street. I barely knew them but phone # was on a card she had sent recently so I called, explaining what it might be and if she could just get it inside I would come for it when plowed out. No, it was her sons sneaker delivery. I found it in a corner of the garage doorway buried in snow.

I have had delivery near midnight a time or two. It is crazy. One was several years ago when I was expecting my first wheelchair. It was terrible weather, pouring rain, and he left it in the driveway near the back door. I just happened to be going through the sunroom and I saw something through the glass door. I had been watching for it all day. Very fortunate I saw it when I did.

Our USPS is delivering Smart Post packages at 7 AM. We received one yesterday at 7 AM and this morning one is scheduled for 8 AM. I appreciate their efforts, and who doesn't like overtime $ in their check?

Our mail rarely arrives before 6:00 PM. I find myself annoyed, but then I think about that poor guy who is still delivering mail in the dark. I'm sure he'd like to be home, too. And I bet he's not on overtime.

I truly appreciate the drivers efforts too. My expectations for delivery just aren’t that high and today would have been just as good. I remember when I’d need extra hours to make ends meet or Christmas happen for my daughter. I was thankful for the extra hours, but I was also exhausted.

I’m sorry about your lost package Moonie, I hope they find it before too long. In our area, there was an article on the news about some guy who is following trucks. He’s lifting boxes off of porches as soon as the truck drives away! One house got a good camera shot of him in action so hopefully he’ll get turned in soon.

A few years ago, a large telescope I had bought my husband was lost by UPS. The box was huge, so it was hard to imagine how they could loose it, but they did. After a week, a new one was sent by the seller and a few days later, a neighbor brought the lost one to our house by wagon; it had been miss delivered, I hope your package is sitting at a neighbors house too.

We have had mail delivered after 10 pm. I feel bad for the workers, but hopefully, extra pay makes it worthwhile for them.

This is new? Years ago we had a mail carrier we called the Midnight Mailman. There would be nothing in our mailbox from noon until checked by DH just before bedtime. The next morning...mail. Sometimes it was our mail; sometimes he was evidently one house 'off' from the start of his route. I guess he thought the people at the end of his route never got any mail.

I'm not so sure your late deliverers are getting overtime pay. Amazon now has independent contractors, who probably do not get overtime regardless of how many hours they work. They also might just be working late hours, not overtime even if they are directly employed by one of the delivery services.

How much can a delivery driver make, annually? I think it's a pretty good salary.

FedEx Home drivers really don't make that much and, at least here, they are paid a flat daily rate with no overtime. Here's a link to an article I found.

I guess I can understand the late deliveries, especially in city neighborhoods since ‘porch pirates’ have become such a problem. It’s the unexpected and dog barking late at night that unnerves almost everyone.

We are very rural and I haven’t noticed any very late deliveries although some have been after dark around 6 pm or so. I just attribute it to the holidays and all the additional stops our regular guy has to make.

Since it was a Chewy.com delivery I believe the person must have been a UPS contract person. It’s sure new for me, all of our deliveries are recieved by 5 maybe 6 at the latest.

My neighbor just had a chewy delivery today, they left it on my deck right in the rain. Shorted her a box too. This is not the first for fed ex messing up big time. I guess they are working overtime for the holidays with late deliverys. I am usually in bed by 9 pm.
