Except that level of detail is completely useless to you - you can't do anything with it. It's available to them because that information is needed if an inquiry is raised to locate it, but what sorting machine specifically last scanned it provides no value to you. Would you be expecting the Domino's Pizza Tracker to say "the pizza chef is adding sauce. the pizza chef is adding cheese. the pizza chef is adding tomato. the pizza chef is adding ham..."?

 

It's not useless to me, because I can see that the parcel is moving within the warehouse. That in itself is useful information to me. And FWIW, yes, I would like that level of detail from my fast food orders, because maybe if they had that level of scrutiny on them when they made them they'd stop mucking up orders.

And as to realtime truck tracking? Yeah no. Even Domino's drivers have raised concern over their GPS location being provided in realtime as a safety risk. Making it so criminals could just order $0.30 worth of stuff from Aliexpress and have the physical location of a truck jam packed full of expensive parcels? Even tracking the courier is a bridge too far because then you could order a $0.30 item from Aliexpress, then trail the van stealing all the parcels left "in a safe place". You know criminals would do it.

 

It happens with depressingly regularity that the second I go down the road for 5 minutes, couriers attempt to deliver the parcels I'm urgently waiting for. If not GPS tracking then at least exact more delivery ETA's, not a 2-4 hour window at best like we get now, or the ability to specific to +-5 minutes what time you want it delivered.
