For standard delivery, they will deliver until their route is complete, but if towards the end of the business day (like 5 or 6 o'clock), they still have lots of packages to deliver on a route, they will redistribute the packages to multiple drivers and get the out quicker. I think the latest I have gotten a home delivery is around 7 PM or so.
According to the part-time help listings for UPS on Careerbuilder, their "driver helpers" shifts are "usually" over by 8, implying that most packages would be delivered by then. If they can't deliver in a reasonable time frame (i.e. before 9 or 10), they would just take the packages back and start again the next day, since their standard delivery doesn't include a guaranteed delivery date.
By the way, UPS drivers are not paid by the package - they are paid an hourly wage plus incentives (which may be based on package delivery rates, but not necessarily). FedEx Ground drivers (formerly RPS), in contrast, are contractors (not employees) and are paid on a piece rate basis (i.e. per delivery). They also must own and maintain their own trucks, receive no overtime pay or other employee benefits.

Unless you paid extra for early morning or Saturday delivery, the driver will try to deliver your package between 9am and 7pm. They try to finish their routes by 5 or 6pm but there are times when they run longer to get everything delivered.
A previous responder was incorrect. UPS does NOT pay its drivers by the package. The regular routes are timed and they can receive a production bonus for finishing early. Trust me, they make a healthy hourly wage courtesy of the unions......they don't want to mess with getting paid by the package.

I've had residential deliveries as late as 10:00 PM. Most of the shippers don't even attempt residential deliveries until after 5:00 PM as so few people are at home during the day.

they have a web site - mostly business hours with limited Saturday delivery to business
they charge EXTRA for after hours delivery - lots of time you can get it late by picking it up at your local UPS store - the only way to get an accurate answer IS GO TO THE WEB SITE AND ENTER YOUR ZIP CODE if you had done this you would be done by now !

Honestly U.P.S. delivery employees are paid by package and not by time. So what I mean is this. They deliver when they deliver. You can request between 9am and 5pm but that's about it.
