It's definitely a regional thing. For us UPS is awful- we live on "first" street and they constantly deliver our packages to the same house number only on "second" street.

Nothing is worse than finding out a package was shipped with OnTrac though.

Opposite experience for me. AMZL - not same day, but normal next day or two day, will arrive between 7am and 11am. AMZL same day (some times another logistics company altogether and not AMZL) will generally come some time between 9PM and 8AM the next day, with almost all same day packages actually arriving the next day (meaning a free month of Prime for me, plus refund of the shipping charges, and occasionally a gift card to shut me up.)

I ordered something at 10pm, and OnTrac delivered it at 8am the next morning. I guess somebody has to be at the beginning of the route. :-) It's not consistent, but usually before 11am, whereas UPS is usually 5-8 pm.
