What
threw me of was the message ” this shipment can not be tracked on this website “
One vendor I have ordered numerous times from and could always track and now I get that message which is kinda weird.
Might be as you guys say that something is going on. Guess I will have the shipments before I can track them
Was shipped as USPS Priority Mail.
A lot of numbers will say that in the beginning. In my previous job, I sent a lot of mail. You know those little green cards that get sent on letters/packages for signature confirmation on delivery? Those can't be tracked on a website, but you do get a signed card back.
My theory is, the PS is running out of numbers to use, so they are recycling numbers from those kinds of shipments. It takes a day-ish to register the new delivery (your package) and update to the website. I get that on a lot of PV shipments these days. Usually by the next day it updates.
A couple more points. A lot of the shipments from stamps.com say it's confirmation delivery. So getting updates in the package's process is not a normal feature of the service. Getting updates on your package as it traverses the country is just a lovely perk. But I've never had a package that didn't give me SOME status updates. Furthermore, expect USPS to update hours (days?) after it hits a checkpoint (scan/arrival/departure/delivery). It's not like UPS or FedEx where you get an update pretty much immediately after a scan. I'm pretty sure it happens in batches, then at the end of a sort or a shift, gets uploaded with thousands of other packages, and then gets filtered
through a database onto the website.
My guesses (expert mail/package tracker). Hah!
