If I could add one small point to this:

My mailing address is literally right on the dividing line that seperates two different delivery hubs here in Atlanta for FedEx, UPS and DHL. Only 100 feet west, and I'd be in the Atlanta hub.

Overnight by 10:30 AM is not guaranteed to it. The last DHL package I had shipped there arived at 2:30 PM.

I live 10 miles from one of the hub's distribution centers and DHL delivers to my home by 10 AM. But to deliver it to the other address they have to ship it from my home hub to my mailing address hub 60 miles away and then run it back about 45 miles.

This adds another day to regular deliveries.

Now that I understand how the distribution system for the Atlanta area works, I have ALL overnights deliverred to my residence since it isn't guaranteed to my mailing address.
