Do you see anything wrong the photo attached? Amazon delivered paint markers that I bought for my nephew at what time?
Yes, that is correct at -- 10:33 PM.
That is a very unacceptable time. Not even family/friends drop by unexpectedly at that time.
I have been getting late delivery times but not this late. I contacted Amazon asking what are their delivery business hours are and the chat representative told me 10 AM - 8PM.
Well, I asked the chat representative how would she feel about a delivery to your home at 10:33 PM. She agreed with my concern and escalated my issue - I will hear back with a response in 2 to 3 business days.
How would you feel if you received a delivery to your house at 10:33 PM? Luckily, it was just these paint markers - had it been something more expensive I would be upset.

Huh, I was going to say that it seems more like an issue with the carrier than Amazon, but that was delivered directly by Amazon. I know the holidays are crazy but what reasonable person would want to have their packages delivered that late? Glad they're escalating the issue. Amazon's usually really good about those things, so you should hear back pretty soon.
Maybe they need to hire a few more delivery drivers to ensure everything's delivered at a reasonable time? I dunno. Something's gotta change, though... or maybe they can offer night owls the option to sign up for later deliveries if they choose?

Yes, shipped and fulfilled by Amazon.
Not Amazon’s fault at all. I’m not sure who the carrier was but it’s on Amazon’s behalf.
Even though I have Amazon Prime, and it’s 2 day delivery sometimes t doesn’t get it in 2 Days, but I don’t mind. I would rather have the delivery done at a reasonable time of the day.
Just recently I read UPS employee delivered an iPhone. Hour later, he stole it.

Am I reading that correctly, Michelle? The UPS driver stole the iPhone he'd just delivered?
I gotta see if I can find that story!

I'm up that time of night so really wouldn't care. But I know that's too late for many

That would be really scary to get a knock late at night though. I am still awake but I don't think that's a reasonable time for a delivery.

Do they deliver to your door or, to the mail boxes?

Most people would not open their door at that time and they would not think to check for any packages left outside that late at night, which puts your order at risk of being stolen.

The package was not anything expensive, it was only $7 bucks paint markers - but had it been something of larger value, I would be very upset.
Regardless, of price it is the principal applied. That is not right to delivery so late and not only does it give a risk of being stolen but who will open the door at 10:30 PM at night.. I don't know anyone who would. Or, if people are sleeping and thinking its an emergency or have little ones in bed.

@Srbageldog Same here.
I don't answer the door regardless. If someone is outside they'll call or text. But, if I am expecting something with a signature confirmation, someone is always home and I'll flag the person home to be nearby just encase.
Not to mention, due to the overwhelming packages not all of these delivery companies are driving marked cars either. Some are driving in rental trucks that says U-Haul or Enterprise (for where I'm at) so that's not quite safe either.

@infatuatedbby I won't answer the door that late at night unless I am expecting somebody. (I won't answer the door, period, unless I'm expecting somebody, though.) It seems like a safety risk to open the door to an unknown person late at night. I have had delivery drivers just leave computers and other expensive electronics outside my door without having me sign for them, and that always upsets me. But regardless, the driver had no way of knowing what was in the package, and people will steal anything if given the chance. I don't think it's smart for them to be delivering things that late at night.

I am not even wake most nights that late. I would have done the same thing as you and contacted Amazon to report it. I am glad it arrived safely but no way should they be going to someone’s house so late. If I heard that in my sleep I would have been worried sick.

@infatuatedbby exactly it was just too late. I imagine the person was running late and worried he would get in trouble if it wasn’t delivered within the two days but not he will be in trouble for delivering it past hours.

@shaggin Yes that is probably the case but I would think to myself about my safety also. Amazon is a big company they can deal with it if people are disappointed with their delays.

I am still awake at that time but no way was I opening the door. Neither did my fiancé open the door to check. He looked outside and didn't see anything, until the next morning there was a package on the floor. It was really small in a standard 8 x 11 padded envelope, I ordered paint markers for my nephew.
But the overall principle, they should not be delivering late at night. Had it been a bad neighborhood, or who knows - what if people are asleep for work, or have kids sleeping, older folks can be startled not only that, but we were startled too!

Is it something you would have to sign for? Or are you in an area where the package could not safely stay outside during the night?
I had to contact amazon about something and they gave me a $10.00 credit for my troubles.

No, did not have to sign for it. It was just a $7 paint marker item. I would never open the door that late!
That was really sweet of Amazon to give you $10.00 credit for your troubles!

I don't know their delivery policy, so I asked them - what is their policy. She told me 10 AM to 8PM.

Honestly, it would depend on how badly I needed the item and if it was approaching the deadline for me to use the item in the way I wanted.
If it was for a Christmas gift and Christmas was fast approaching, I'd probably call Amazon and THANK them for getting my delivery to me, no matter what time of the day or night.
It all is in the perspective of the recipient of the package. *shrug!*

Nope just markers, $7 package. I don't want anyone coming to my house that late. And why were they out late to begin with?!

@infatuatedbby I see.
Maybe the person just down the street from you just received the package they HAD to have by the next morning, so the driver decided to take care of the other package for your street while he was so close?
IDK otherwise. I would wonder about such a late delivery, myself.
WAIT! 
Are you saying that IF I was vacationing somewhere fairly close to your home and my car broke down in the street in front of your house, you wouldn't welcome me in out of the cold while waiting for the tow truck to arrive?
(You KNOW I'm teasing you! )

@infatuatedbby Uhm... please remind me not to visit your part of the United States, Michelle! 
Nothing goes in there and I aim to keep it that way! A tow truck is 
WAY too big to be comfortable or fun, no matter who you are!

Yes, not a reasonably time to deliver anything.
At night you will see pizza deliveries and that's pretty much it. Because all delivery facilities are closed before 8PM.

@infatuatedbby You are right too. Your comment suddenly reminded me of a case, a young woman was in a process of answering her front doorbell late that night when she got shot in the face and chest through the door. The police never could find out who killed her. (And I thought bullets couldn't pass through doors!)

That sounds really strange, and a bit scary. I think 8 PM should be the cut off for deliveries.

I hate being disturbed at such time. They have all the hours during the day time to do the delivery. Weird. They prefer working at night and bothering people.

Totally ! And knowing someone dropped by at 10:33 PM..... that's concerning! Don't they have a schedule? Even 9PM is pushing it. But after 10PM, nope. They could have called it quits and come back tomorrow. Note, it was a $7 item... paint markers.
