Next up, how good is UPS and USPS delivering on time after it leaves Adafruit? Here’s what their numbers look like for November:
UPS
UPS Ground orders arrived on time an average of 95.92%
UPS Air orders arrived on time an average of 96.42%
UPS International arrived on time an average of 93.45%
These figures are based on a sample audit of 14,000+ packages (last 30 days).
USPS
USPS orders were successfully delivered 98.40% of the time. First class took an average of 4.1 days with a maximum (severe delay) of 21 days, Priority averaged 3.8days with a maximum (severe delay) of 22 days. We do not offer USPS for regions that have known issues with delays so the average is likely higher than other companies that offer USPS to all 50 states.
