I saw a DHL sticker on the lunar lander so my best guess is that it’ll be lost, land on another moon or be later by several weeks.

Our friends in the “moon landing never happened” community will be along to the us that those lunar landings never happened.
Hopefully there will be live video from the lander.

Well, in this case the ‘deliveries’ are human ashes and assorted junk items......................

Is this a Uber lander or one of NASA’s?

No humans aboard, so a more fuel efficient route is being taken.

The first Lunar landing that will be consequential will have nuclear powered tunneling robots. The surface of the Moon is very hostile, but if you have underground tunnels, the degree of hostility plummets. It is still a harsh place, but somewhat more manageable.
Optimally, the landing will be in a crater with steep walls, so that part of the crater will be in a “twilight” area, so extremes of hot and cold are mitigated. The area leading up to the wall will be swept clear of very abrasive Lunar dust, also removing its enhanced radiation away from the tunnel entrance.
The actual tunneling is very time consuming, with 1” a day being a huge success. But the end result is a permanent habitat, which means a lot more resources and fuel can be sent up instead of just endless new one use habitats.

Minimum energy trajectory: As TheDon said, since there are no humans to support you can deliver more payload for the same amount of fuel. When there humans, a lot of payload is consumed in supporting them, so the best trajectory changes.

Will free returns be included?
