OH SURE...now you tell me!! That's like saying "...don't look down..."
When I was a kid the US mail always arrived at our house before noon-- usually by 10:30 am. Now I'm lucky to get it before 4 PM. But hey: they keep that one mail truck busy!

I had that happen to me waiting for my G5. Took the day off to take delivery, waited all day and finally the FedEx truck pulled up at 7:05PM, guy stopped for about 30 seconds and drove away. Checked the website and it was marked as "Owner not home". What a joke! Customer support didn't care a lick.

I think they should start putting reusable GPS-devices on the packages (at a small fee, of course). That way you could see were your package REALLY is. That would be a big step up from the current system. They could make it so that they're like a little nodes that attach to the package, then when they deliver it to you, they just detach it perhaps and use it for another package, kind of like they do with those plastic security tags that are on the new clothing in department stores.

Much more feasible would be to simply interface with the truck's GPS.
cool for you!! have fun!!
