Logistics?

I have been tracking an order I made due to be delivered today. I had tracking info this morning at 09.30 that gave a delivery time of 16.30 to 18.30 today. I shoved the tracking info into their app and its showed the driver in Nelson at 10am, Colne at 10.45 and he was in Barlick by 11.30. Tracking showed him on Skipton Road and then on Monkroyd. I assumed my delivery would be shortly after. I checked again at 12.45 and found that he was back in Nelson? If they knew about my delivery by 9.30 why wasn't it on the van for when he was already in Barlick? Only reason I can think is that they have a distribution hub in Nelson and have to revisit throughout the day. Still seems daft though to me.

There is a notice on the app that says the courier already has my parcel. That was there when I first checked this morning so it makes even less sense.

I pay no attention to all emails and text messages regarding ebay deliveries. I think the whole process is little short of miraculous, and I try not to organise the business of those runnng it on a daily basis. My tally to date is 634 purchases, and I have never had one that did not arrive.

I don’t watch them either, the ads are bad enough.
