That's all I've been doing the past few minutes, that and shaking my head. I've tracked the UPS driver all day and it's amazing how many times he's made circles around me.
Even the tracking has a disclaimer saying proximity isn't an indication of impending delivery. I guess UPS makes enough money to not care about the fuel costs and mileage on their vehicles.
I could be frustrated, but I'm not. Sure, I'm eager, but I'll be just as eager when it finally does arrive. I've already let go of today as anything more than what I've already accomplished (and that's a lot!)
Do you watch pots boil? (Do you track your deliveries?)

I like to know when packages arrive so that I can take them off the porch before someone steals them! I usually get an email when it's delivered. I hate waiting for things.

The guy did not arrive until 7 PM. The original window was 12:45 to 4:45. I had to open my window and yell "Hey, I'm over here!" (well actually I said "Hey, this is 1245 (my street number)"
It's very unlikely we'll get packages stolen here, but I do try to get them off the porch ASAP.

@LindaOHio I believe 8 pm is the cut off time for deliveries, so yes they were playing it close. I formed a new theory about this though. Maybe these strange routes are a way for the UPS drivers to get their full 8 hours? UPS used to be so much more efficient. It was them that was on our street before noon. Now it's Fed Ex, and their drivers RUN to the door.

@angelitovillegas I am not stressed now at all, but thank you for your concern. I do not receive many packages, so I do track the ones I receive.

@ScribbledAdNauseum mayne you should not track your deliveries from time to time. You'll just got stressed.

That is the only time you can track the UPS man via the GPS. Otherwise it's just telling you which port it is.
I watched the driver go back and forth in neighborhoods all day.

I get so few that it's fun to watch them come my way.
This fella didn't get here until 6:30ish PM and he almost delivered to the wrong house. I did wonder if that was half of his trouble.

They updated the time. It was supposed to arrive between quarter of 12 and quarter of 4, but now it says 7 pm. That's abut 40 minute away.

He's a few minutes from my neighborhood again. They updated the time for delivery as 7 pm. I guess it will be a late night of trying to get the dresser put together.

Sometimes I do, when I really want something.

Yeah, I've been eager for this all day. I guess it's going to be a night of crocheting instead of a day of crocheting. Plus I need to build the dresser

I do to an extent. Only if I get a notification about it. Otherwise I don't really.

I don't do this anymore. Nothing requires a signature anymore.

I do track my deliveries via my email account which is usually accurate.
, Obviously, they aren't much "green" oriented. Although, they give you a gift of smile which mean a lot of good energy for you!
Have a great day
