Next time I’m being lazy and buying the pre diced onions ;)

I received a stainless steel alligator chopper as a gift a couple of years ago and it gets a heavy workout. Onions are definitely it’s strong suit, just peel, quarter then *chop*. Can‘t recommend it enough.

 
UPS' ORION (On-Road Integrated Optimization and Navigation) platform uses advanced algorithms, artificial intelligence and machine learning. It includes detailed turn-by-turn directions to guide drivers, not just to addresses, but to specific package drop-off and pickup locations like loading docks that are not visible from the street.

It saves UPS about 100 million miles and 10 million gallons of fuel per year. The latest generation also recalculates individual package delivery routes throughout the day as traffic conditions, pickup commitments and delivery orders change.

My guess is that it is very efficient.

The post office have something similar for Sunday’s. I know very route in my station, so delivering the packages without the turn-by-turn directions isn’t needed for me, but it literally orders the packages in the order that is safest for the driver to exit the vehicle and comes up with drops that prevent you from backing up as much as possible. I’ve even have deliveries where I delivered to one house in the middle of the 1st block, went up the next block for the next delivery and end up back on the 1st block. It was all to keep me from backing up and to save on fuel. I go by own directions which end up having me complete my route on Sunday’s a little earlier than the scanner predicts.
 
Mine still doesn't have an estimated delivery date, and it never did since I first found the tracking number. Still says "Please check back later for scheduled delivery." Should I be worried? Lol...
Nvm got a scheduled delivery date for the first time finally. Shows Friday.

All that aircraft tracking just to find out apple was just bringing the iphones over to store in the warehouse for future deliveries 😃🤔
 
Apple sure knows how to catch and make sure our pakages get set to Friday, maybe put this team onto the leakers running rampant 😂

Wednesday delivery wasn’t going to happen in first place. Multiple sources reported it.


it’s Apple we’re dealing with the TOP DOG!
🛩
 
Friday will the best reverse pre-Trick or Treat ever, a costumed person will give me a treat for a change!
 
For those of us that have requested our phones to be held at the UPS Customer Center - is there any acknowledgment in the tracking info that the phone is now being held? I got the confirmation on the site once I submitted the request, but otherwise my tracking now looks the same.

And now ORION gets to efficiently learn a new route to my door, from a few streets over, sooner on Friday, to collect my extra $8 2-Hour Window Surcharge. 😂
