UPS: "by the end of the day" is at what time exactly? haha HELP?

Question

I this thing from online on sunday and chose the one-day shipping method.

I tracked my order on the UPS website and i calculated the time and it said that my package should be here by the end of the day. Oh yeah, that's real specific :)

Answer 1

end of the day means when the driver gets done. we dont just "go home" at 5pm. we may get done at 5 or 8pm its hard to say. so your stuff will arrive before the driver punches out.

Answer 2

usually the end of the business day, by 5pm, Monday - Friday.
