Current Events > Wait. Amazon lets you track the locations of their drivers on your delivery day.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Yikes. Mine is three stops away and it has like a GPS tracking on this delivery person. That is both cool but also creepy at same time Amazon tracks where the drivers go like that and let you see it.

I feel like that could be abused to steal other packages

Driver currently at your mom's

They can see who's currently tracking them.

I'd think amazon would get a little suspicious when all but one packages on the route are reported lost.

Would laugh if it wasn't a violation of those workers privacy. You don't see UPS/Fed Ex giving you the whereabouts as they deliver packages that day. Good thing is they have a time window though. Mine is between 3pm and 5:30pm. I'm guessing if he late Amazon will know. That he wasn't in my building by 5:30pm when he 3 blocks away.

Is this the amazon vans, or driver-owned vehicles?

UPS/FedEx does this too, but it's mostly inaccurate and even when they're close, there's no guarantee they'll drop your shit off when they're there.

^ I had some bad experiences with them a lil' while ago, and I just learned to ignore everything from them until I get my package. It's like watching paint dry, except there's no guarantee your wall will even be painted after you're done watching.

I don't want to give up my location but the Amazon thing gives more info that that. It is a GPS dot of exactly where they are. I know this driver is 3 blocks away from my house right now. This person was about 5 blocks away earlier.

I don't know. I just know it has a TBA tracking number. I moved the map away from my exact location but this is what it looks like.

When it in my zipcode in NYC you get a green dot of where the delivery person is.

That's why you leave one of the other less interesting packages and report yours as lost duh
