Amazon package due 2:30-4:30pm, then 5pm, then 9pm

Stuck at 9 stops away but van appears to be heading miles away, like gunning it away on a distant motorway.
Is driver finished for the day and I'll get it tomorrow?

Asking so I know whether to hang around pointlessly.

    I asked a driver about this. Tracking has a set route and the system estimates his time from the last parcel dropped. So if he's 5 parcels away as the system decides but he then decides to deliver a different parcel and deviate from the pre-planned route. The Amazon system gets confused.

    You'll probably wait all day and when they come, your parcel will be left outside without knocking the door

    Yeh luckily I was in but by the time I'd got to the door he was at the end of my drive going, "Parcel 📦 mate". I bet he would've driven off n left my Holy Stone drone on the doorstep.

    I have seen this happen many times - "your package is 4 stops away" and then it is delivered couple of hours later.

    Cheers, just a bit weird as the van was about two miles away then it's belting down the motorway 40 miles away.

    Perhaps he'd done his hours so it goes back to depot then an evening driver takes over.

    I once had an Amazon driver stop at the end of my street when I was the next stop. He then drove off and never delivered the parcel.. it did get delivered the next day though..

    Had this both ways, the tracking has been terrible recently. A few weeks ago I had a delivery turn up 2 hours later after showing 1 stop away.

    Just today my delivery ETA was 3:45-5:45 - turned up at 12:53.
