Yup, I asked a couple years ago why it happened and was told often it's the driver's discretion. Often they take on extra thinking they can get them all out, and if they can't they change the date. Whether that's true or not I can't say, never worked as a driver, but that's what i was told.
We have had UPS drive across an open field to make a delivery on her way home. The USPS besides being small and never sure when they are open, will by pass the mail box (unless it is the idiot kid sub) and come to the door, because they know I sometimes have trouble getting around. Can't complain about either service.
I've actually had UPS transfer my UPS packages to the USPS! But my biggest complaint is UPS marking my last package "delivered-left at front door" and finding my package in my mailbox which is 400 feet from the house.
But I'd still rather have cigars sent UPS because I usually get them them the next day if ordered in the mornings.
I had a package tracking tell me out for delivery for two straight days never receiving it even when I paid for one day shipping. This was with FedEx though. When it finally arrived I asked the driver what happened, and he told me that they are allowed only so many hours of delivery per day and if they pass that time the driver has to pay a huge fine. So I guess if they take on too many packages and hit their time limit they have to push delivery dates back.
