After having a similar occurrence once I asked our UPS delivery driver about the why of situations like that. His reply was, "Off the record,... that's been known to happen sometimes if a driver is running behind schedule much and/or loaded down with too many deliveries and a single delivery is a bit out of the way of his normal daily route coverage."

In my case it was a next day delivery by noon to a small town bank that the driver reported "unable to deliver -- closed". I called the bank and confirmed that it was indeed open full regular business hours and did not close for lunch.
