The (current) promise of (de)generative AI is to reduce this kind of wasteful nonsense, not promote it. Welcome to the future.
I'm finding Amazon's delivery to be rather annoying. I look at the map and it shows 1 delivery. Then it shows the driver in another location near to where he was. Then it shows the driver in another location saying there are some other deliveries needing to be done before mine. And he's now farther away then he was to where I am. We've had a number of deliveries not make the initial time window given. The delivery still arrives on the day it's supposed to.

If the delivery is going to be coming via the mail,I will contact Amazon if it does not arrive on the day it's supposed to. I've had some mail deliveries never show up and even the post office was never able to find it. Amazon did send out out replacement orders. I've had some mail orders sent out again and eventually the original order showed up. I always ask Amazon if what to do it the original order does show up and Amazon says to keep it. That's how I've ended up with a few extra items such as another 256GB micro SD card.
