Apparently the package tracking thing within Amazon is garbage. I'd got an email saying an order was expected a day earlier than expected, but it's now 2 days past that and . . . nothing. I went through their "item did not arrive" thing only to find out - which they could have mentioned up front - that if it's still within the "delivery cycle" then you have to wait to report it not delivered.
So I was going to file a missing item report with the post office, and when I put the tracking # into the USPS system, well. That system says it is out for delivery -today-. Why it got reported as out for delivery, and then delivered, yesterday, is a good question! What the hell is going on between the USPS and Amazon - is Amazon being unrealistically optimistic? Is the post office reporting incorrect information? Or - what I suspect is most likely - is Amazon interpreting data from the post office in a creative and completely misleading manner?
