Yeah I mean it isn't so much a necessity, and while it would be nice to have it already, the real frustration lies in this image of the tracking info:
Notice how for 3 consecutive timestamps, it's been In Transit, Hagerstown, MD. That is literally the last stop before hitting and being sorted at my local depot. What this means is today sometime, it will arrive at my local depot, get sorted, and be put on the truck for delivery tomorrow.
Shipping and logistics drive me crazy. I've ordered items from Amazon, who hold the order for a month, and then I get 2-day shipping. Because I'm not always a Prime member, it doesn't ship right away. That's fine, but it's weird that they hold it for so long and then it goes out 2-day shipping.
Also, my personal favorite, is the back and forth past my house. I live south of the Amazon depot in Kenosha, WI. Maybe 10-15 miles away. An item just went even further south, past my house, to another location in a different Chicago suburb. It then traveled
BACK NORTH to my house to be delivered today. Wouldn't it be easier to just drop it on a truck with local deliveries, rather than send it way further south than the delivery address, then have to move it back north to deliver?
