So we have a delivery due today - between 9.32 and 12.32.

Every time I get one of these notifications, I mutter about spurious precision, but I suspect there's probably something else going on here.

If it was me, I'd calculate the earliest a delivery was possible, then tack on a fairly arbitrary margin of tolerance based on past experience.

Anyone know if this is even vaguely near the mark?

@Spinybadger I'd think the two hours *is* the margin of tolerance and the number is just calculated using last completion time plus expected travel and they haven't bothered with any rounding.

@bykimbo This is more or less what I assumed. But at this point, I'm more or less a delivery time connoisseur. Noting that some will have 4-hour windows early in the day, while others narrow it down to an hour even at the end of the round.

@Spinybadger Aha, clearly made quite the study :D I've never noticed the gap narrowing. I don't think I'm at your level of expertise!
