Why does Amazon's tracking suck so bad?

Above.

Been waiting for a game delivery all day, according to the tracking, it's due today before 11 PM, I checked that like 3 hours ago and it still hasn't updated yet.

I am aware of Google.

Well according to the tracking (which I checked just now), it should hopefully come in the next 10-15 minutes.

I shouldn't encourage rubbish jokes, but they also blow!

I only use W+ regularly and we have had our stuff left at the wrong door before because they don't follow instructions properly or at all.

Ironically, the marijuana delivery service (legal), never has issues.

But back to my bad jokes

So a properly functioning vacuum cleaner sucks good. But a nonfunctional vacuum sucks bad????

I could try and go into the IT logistics of it all but I have no idea how Amazon operates. if I was to take a stab I reckon @indian223666 has pretty much got it. It sort of goes for bus scheduling too- the driver and the app/website probably doesn't communicate together that well, if anything, perhaps a bit more independently from each other with the drivers job just being to adhere to the given times. Of course sometimes not all going to plan :/

Now that I think about it this makes for a lil IT networking research project

So I have another delivery due "today", which was ordered last night, according to the tracking, it's been "out for delivery" since about 7 and half hours ago, the local Amazon Depot's only at Brightside, even I could walk down there and back quicker.

Are the Amazon delivery drivers on strike again?

I am aware of Google and will use it.

I'm sure some deliveries can take up until 9-10pm in the evening if there is no specific time stated.

As it happens, I've just got back from TKD and there's an email saying it's been delivered at the Flat, possibly left in the blue wheelie bin.

Well we went to the Flat earlier, there was a note from the Amazon delivery guy that the item was in the blue bin, I've checked like 3 times and it's not there.

I've raised a complaint with Amazon but I guarantee they won't do anything, other than give me the £28 back.
