    I worked in the shipping industry for several years. Carriers will always say something is “out for delivery” even when they know it isn’t or it is and the driver won’t make it.

    If you try reaching them they generally give out a half-assed excuse.

    I worked for a broker so my job was to get the real status of shipments, so most of my job was yelling/screaming, throwing tantrums and the like just to get a lazy asshole on the other end of the line to check for real.

    90% of the time it’s not a problem and people just want to know where it is (and with larger packages need to schedule themselves to be onsite at the time of delivery).

    Curse that industry, the drivers might be working hard but all the layers of middlemen and greedy fucks surrounding them make it unbearable. I’ve never had to deal with worse people.
