[2025-10-13T16:51:45Z] couriers are a mess [2025-10-13T16:52:29Z] yeah idk out for delivery means its on the delivery truck and en-route to your house [2025-10-13T16:52:35Z] usually and in my experience anyway [2025-10-13T16:54:19Z] the weird thing is that I haven't got notifications for any of these change of plans [2025-10-13T16:55:03Z] like, GLS, probably the crappiest courier where I live, constantly goes "howdy a package is coming :D" and then GUARANTEED go "oops sorry we did a fucky wucky see you tomorrow!!1! :3" [2025-10-13T16:55:31Z] and I can't even reschedule?!
