    It’s like the packages get to the last mile warehouse a day early, so the system says “it’s here, let’s send it a day early”. Then some idiot in either the warehouse or on the truck sees the package and says “oh this wasn’t scheduled to be delivered till tomorrow? Fuck that, it’s not going on the truck till tomorrow”

    Happened so many times for me with FedEx now, I just disregard any updates they send.

      It’s not even that. It happens before it’s even at the last warehouse. I know to disregard it but at the same time, if I have a phone coming from Google that I requested signature for delivery, I can’t roll the dice. I’ll move work from home days just to be annoyed again.

    • FedEx is the worst of all. USPS is the best. At least where I’ve lived.

      I was in an sketchy apartment years ago waiting for hours for a FedEx package that needed signed. I waited the whole time in the living room by the front door. Eventually I got frustrated and walked outside. The FedEx person had snuck up my creaky stairs and put that fucking sticker on my door instead of even bothering to bring up the package and knock.
