To not understand this delivery message?

I was expecting a delivery today and have just received a message to say it won’t be delivered until tomorrow because of “ adverse weather conditions “ No tornados that I can see although the sun is cracking the flags!
Has anyone else had unbelievable non-delivery excuses?

Is it coming from abroad - maybe it's caught up in wild fires or something!

Handed to JESTER (my name is Hester) and they definitely did not hand to me!

The delivery driver ran out of time on their round, so they tend to use really weird reasons for not delivering. It will likely be delivered tomorrow. We had a delivery due, and my husband received an update saying 'they were unable to find the property'. Our house was built in 1986, not off the beaten track, and in a cul-de-sac!! The parcel turned up the next day.

When they run out of time delivering to us, they usually put unable to deliver no one home or something stupid, seeing Dh was outside in the garden and I have been in the front room to see as they arrive and walk past the window to get to the front door.
Usually comes the next day and get dropped in the porch with no door knocking.

I looked at the tracker, it got to delivery number 49 ( I was 51) and then was returned to depot, it was probably closer to my house by then!
oh well, maybe tomorrow!
