If it was that easy then somebody would be doing it. A lot of residential streets that may just have a space in the day to position a van in without too long a walk to the drop off will be absolutely full when all the residents are home. So the delivery driver will just block the road and annoy people. Then there is the noise , people who may be going to sleep from 10pm ish will just love the banging of van doors at midnight or the racket made as the courier sorts through the packages in the van. The Sainsburys chap who delivers around here at about 8.30pm is bad enough,a proper door slammer. And finding an address in the dark can be a right pain, Not everybody has a house number or name that seen from a vehicle in the dark, Creeping along shining a torch or side mounted lamp up paths and driveways is not going to let you do the job in half the time,it will take longer added to which people will not be able to see who is knocking on their door late at night,many would (should in some cases) ask for ID through a chained part open door.A lot will not answer at all.

The local driver for that company does that - I get deliveries 7-8pm

One of the other coriers has a different arrangement. If they call during the day and you are not in the package is left with a local agent who then uses his own car to deliver in the evenings.
