Kept watching the map to see if the truck would drive away and fall off my screen, but the image changed to a DELIVERED status with a photo of the box on my porch.
Well, that was oddly satisfying!
(And I suppose useful if someone is about to leave the house, lives in a neighborhood prone to thefts, or really wants to know the second a package is delivered.)
Delivery disputes are a problem for Amazon and I thought this was a cool way to help resolve some of them.
