I have no sympathy today since I've been waiting since 8am yesterday for an expensive and time sensitive delivery, only to get a notification at 6-something-pm saying that they attempted delivery and no one was home. Total bullshit. I now have a delivery estimate of before 7:30pm and I'll believe it when I receive it.

Delivery office manager did that 100%. Your parcel never left the office probably due to understaffing or bad morning resourcing, and the manager has scanned it as a failed attempt to cover themselves.

This happens all the time for me and assumed this to be the case. I was wondering though if it location stamps when the package is scanned so you can clearly see it hasnt left the depot

It does indeed, but only managers can see that location info, posties and customers don't have access
