"Your Driver is Arriving Soon!"
Your completely right. The driver should give YOU priority over everything that is going on in his day. How dare he not be on time for the 1 hour window that he didn’t even know existed!? Unacceptable !!! More on reddit.com

What does “Your Driver is Arriving Soon!” mean?
It means your package is out for delivery and your driver will attempt delivery before the end of the day based on where in the planned stop order your address falls that day. So it could be 10am it could be 9pm. Without contacting the local center who can then ask the driver for a better estimate that it the best you can get. More on reddit.com

How long does it take for the UPS to arrive as soon the UPS states that a package is “out for delivery today”? - Quora
Answer (1 of 6): The notice is that it's on the truck. Unless someone has paid to have it delivered early in the day, the driver adheres to his route. UPS 8s strict on that because it keeps the route intact and saves on gas. So your delivery is dependent on how many deliveries that route has. It ...

r/UPS on Reddit: "Your Driver is Arriving Soon!"
October 25, 2019 -

I hate this. There is zero definition of what "soon" means so it is completely useless. UPS usually comes through my neighborhood late in the evening, but of course the one time I actually have to sign for my package, they tried to deliver at 1329 yesterday afternoon. Whatever, it happens. Today I'm stalking my tracking app and I get a notice of, "Your Driver is Arriving Soon!" So I bustle out of work and head home. I've been here an hour now and have to head back to work, but no sign of the driver. I just completely burned my lunch hour because of this notification and I'm going to miss my delivery again. What is the point of this "feature" if it doesn't actually even mean anything? Why even bother changing from "Out for Delivery" if it's still hours away? /endrant

Update delivery was made four hours after initial status change on the app. Kill the "feature." It's completely useless and only causes user frustration. Drivers get there when they get there. I'm just wanting to know what corporate goon thinks four hours is "soon."

When you check your UPS tracking, you'll see different statuses that tell you where your package is. "Picked Up" means UPS has collected your parcel from the sender, so it’s officially on its way. If it says "In Transit," your package is moving through the network, traveling between facilities. No need to act just yet—it's making progress. When you see "Out for Delivery," your parcel is on the delivery truck and should arrive soon, usually that same day.
