My driver has been in the same spot for about 3 hours :(

Just curious how accurate the truck location is on the live map. Every time I have a package coming and I check it the truck is always right around my area but I don't end up getting the package until hours later and see the truck driving all over town. Today my delivery is scheduled 12pm-4pm EST and from like 11-12:30 truck was right in my area even on my same street at one point right in front of my building lol. I'm not trying to rush, timing doesn't matter I'm home and off today anyways but I do have to sign, was just curious how it works. I read has to do with package priority but I have two diff packages on the truck one being 2nd Day Air and other Worldwide Saver, as well as an Amazon pickup scheduled for today but that usually happens later in the day prob diff truck.

Anyways, just home bored and curious how the route process works.. thanks!

Doesn’t seem like it updates often.

I get a map that pops up in my app about half the time. Sometimes the 3 promps (on the road, in your area, almost there) work great. Sometimes they never move at all and sometimes i don't get any map. Is this the specific truck that determines if this works? Is it my service level or maybe the driver? I'd like to understand it if at all possible thanks.

So I liked the "Follow My Delivery" feature initially but recently it has become an area of frustration.

This morning it told me to expect my delivery between 9:30am and 12:30pm. Around noon I noticed it had updated to "In Your Area" and I could see the driver literally blocks away from my house. However, within 5 mins the map updated and the driver appears to have passed my house and is now on the other side of town. The delivery estimate then updated to "To be delivered by 9:00pm". I would be far more understanding if this is the first time it has happened but ALL of my packages over the past few weeks have updated like this.

What gives? Why would the driver literally drive past my house but not stop only to have to backtrack later to drop off my shipment. Looking at the map, the driver appears to always head to the same location. Almost like they decided to go to home.

Edit: I have attempted to flair my post as Rule#5 requires for the subreddit but I am not seeing the option. Has this been disabled?

I have a package that requires signature out for delivery today and the window says 1:30-5:30, I’m just curious how accurate that is? I am leaving work at 1 to make it home in time, do you think I still have a chance of missing my delivery?

No rant, just perplexed.

I've had a package out for delivery the last 3 days (same package) and every day I get the Follow My Delivery e-mail and watch the truck take the exact same route in my neighborhood, at the exact same time.

The weird thing is it shows this truck going through my neighborhood for 7+ hours. My neighborhood is not very big.

The weirder thing is it shows the truck only going to the same 5 streets and sits at each one for well over an hour. There are only 3-4 houses on each street.

The final weird thing: Since this is the third day of this exact same activity I started to wonder if this is actually tracking a truck since the route seems odd... So I decided to drive around my neighborhood 3 different times and realized there is no delivery truck of any kind anywhere in my neighborhood yet the FMD shows there has been one in here all day.

Honestly I'm not that concerned about the package, it will get here when it gets here, I'm mostly just curious about whether the FMD feature actually follows a truck or is it just some kind of projection? This could just be my cabin fever COVID lockdown brain going full r/conspiracytheory lol.

I really liked "follow my delivery." I'm not home often, so if I saw my driver close to work, I would just run out to the general area and pick it up from them. Todays package isn't showing up. Is this no longer a feature?
