Usually, the delivery time of UPS is between 9:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. So, you could expect UPS to come by your house within that delivery period. However, it is very difficult to guess the exact time UPS will come to your house. When UPS will come to your house depends on quite a few things like your address, your order delivery serial, etc. You should keep in mind that UPS doesn’t provide a specific delivery time within the delivery time window.
How to Find out When UPS will Deliver the Package?
Well, you can track your UPS package using your UPS tracking number but it won’t tell you when the UPS delivery man will arrive at your address. However, there is a manual way you can estimate the arrival time of UPS. When you will receive your package mostly depends on the position of the address/street in the delivery route. If you have previously received a UPS package then you can use the previous information to estimate the delivery hour of your next UPS package. In a UPS package, check the sticker and you will find a PAL number on it. The PAL number contains the truck name and a number. The truck name will give you an idea about the route. And the number is the serial number of the delivery package. The delivery serial number usually looks like (1000–8999). So, if your serial number is small like 1025 then your package will be delivered quickly. It means you can expect to receive the package between 9.00 a.m. and 12.00 p.m. On the other hand, if your serial number is big like 7526 then your package will be delivered late in the day. You can expect to get the package between 3.00 p.m. and 7.00 p.m.
