USPS has sometimes confounding tracking system.
Many times you can track your package in real time.
Sometimes you get a "shipped" notification when it's really the seller printing their label.
They've got several euphemisms for that.
But the surest way to tell that your package will arrive late is, "In transit, arriving on time."
Especially when the previous entry in the tracking system says it arrived someplace without a corresponding departure.
I'd despair, but it's something to post about. I've been short on material since I stopped going to places that actively piss me off.
I'd got a notification that they'd dropped off a package for me, but I never saw or got it. Tomorrow I'm going into the post office on some other business, and I'm going to ask them about that.

ReplyDelete"I stopped going to places that actively piss me off." House arrest hunh? Bummer.
Virtual places that piss me off, pissed me off more than physical places.
DeleteBeing on house arrest makes it harder, not easier to avoid the pricks.
They were good for material, and traffic.
Even funnier is when they come back here and make comments and show they can read and follow the rules I've established.

ReplyDeleteAaaaand some smarty pants thread killer beat me to it..
I was just going for
I don't leave the house either,,
But, he wins..
There is a status that drives me bonkers. Your package has been received but had not been accepted. And then nothing...
ReplyDeleteThis happens when a shipper drops off a pallet, cart, semi full of packages. When they drop it off they hand a bill of lading to the USPS. If your tracking number is on that list, then your package has been received.
Your package is accepted when the tracking number/barcode is read by USPS equipment.
A number of times I've had my package arrive on a pallet, get loaded and moved to a regional location. At the regional they move packages to outbound trucks without bothering to scan the packages.
In the case of an upper shipped priority, it was received in Florida, and want seen for 14 days when it was scanned at a different regional, and finally a delivery status. No other status. A delivery today was supposed to take 2 days took over two weeks.
