Ain’t that the truth. I track important packages using USPS tracking numbers, and the USPS tracking website. The website told me that my latest package was delivered to me, in my mailbox, last Friday at 3:11 PM. Very specific, eh?

I actually got it four days later.

Happens to me all the time when I order from Amazon. The USPS games the system to keep their contract with Amazon.

You really might be on to something there. Most of my late deliveries were from Amazon Prime. The USPS gaming the system to pretend to meet the two-day delivery promise...yes, I can see that happening.

And I was about to blame Global Warming.

The same thing occurs pretty frequently with the “independent contractors” that Amazon employs for its one day delivery program. We’ll get “delivered on front porch” status but the item won’t show up until an hour or two later.

I’m used to it and know that the couriers are doing it to meet their time quotas/standards. When I do see these folks, they’re ALWAYS hustling and working hard trying to earn a living. So I wouldn’t dream of complaining about them for an hour or two delay.
