At some point delivery companies will realize that overnight drop-offs make sense.

Posted by Mop (aka rburriel) Mar 19 '17, 14:12

There's no reason UPS and FedEx can't put a package on your porch at 2 am.

Two caveats: a large part of the reason they're out between 8 and 5 is because they also drop off and pick up from offices and businesses. And signature confirmation isn't an option in the middle of the night.

  - Ringing my doorbell at 2am may get you shot. Not so much at 2pm -- nm - Bacon Mar 19, 14:24 1

True. Less traffic. Faster. But yeah it would be exclusively to citizens and not businesses. -- nm - Volnelk Mar 19, 14:14 1
