Today's annoyance

[andrewducker]

Companies that email you "Your parcel is on the way!", but it turns out that actually they've just reserved a tracking number and aren't physically sending anything for another day or two.

I was getting annoyed this morning by an email from eBay to say "Your seller is preparing your parcel". How does that (1) make my life better in any way whatsoever (2) do anything for eBay as a brand but associate negative emotion with it?

Exactly! I can understand it with food delivery apps - "Your food is being cooked" is just the stage between "Order accepted" and "Delivery driver on the way".

But when it comes to things I've bought I don't need an update on any stage between "Order accepted" and "Your item is now actually in the hands of the delivery company, here is the tracking number." (Which is what Amazon does)
