That depends upon where you are. I'm out in cattle country in central
Florida. Our factory gets UPS next-day by 3pm. At home, I'm 10 miles
away, and get stuff as late as 10pm.

FedEx delivers to the factory by 10:30am, and to my house by 2pm.

It just depends upon their established route.

We're far SW KS (also serious cattle country; feedyard just east of us
is 27000 head ) but there's no "established route" -- they deliver on
GIS-based shortest route since it's miles between addresses and
irregular deliveries. I've never had anything delivered after mid- to
late afternoon, though; it'll be next day. Of course, the local
deliveries start their day in the nearest distribution center 60 miles
north and there's a very small contract sub-center here in town that the
drop trailers at for the deliveries that head on down into OK/TX
panhandles, nw NM, se CO, etc., ...
