When UPS says delivery by 9pm?

Ugh, UPS saying delivery by 9 pm? Seriously? That’s always such a tease, isn’t it? Like, they’re saying it could be here by nine, but that’s basically code for “sometime before midnight, maybe.” Remember that time I waited around all day for a package, convinced it’d be the nine o’clock miracle delivery? Nope. Eleven forty-five, it finally showed up. I was so ready to order pizza! Anyway, apparently UPS Ground aims for 9 am to 9 pm, Monday to Friday, for homes. Business is, you know, during business hours. But “possible” is the key word, right? It’s possible to win the lottery, too, but I’m not exactly holding my breath. So yeah, don’t plan your evening around that 9 pm delivery window, is my advice. You’ll probably be disappointed. Unless you’re ridiculously lucky, of course. Then, brag to me!
