Getting a little worried..

[RandomHero]

My order still doesn't say it's in my town yet, but 2 days ago it said it was in Albany NY which is an hour away from me. Today is the 7th day since I ordered, and I know that the weather hasn't been good in a lot of places, but come on! I am vaping my last cartomizer right now, so if this doesn't come today, then I'm pretty much SOL. I really don't want to buy a pack of cigarettes...

I would think it would come today, but who really knows with the mail system.

Wow Random. I hope it comes today..... I would be climbing the walls.....

Yeah I hope your right. But 7 days... My first order was 4 from the time I ordered. And it doesn't make sense that it was an hour away from me 2 days ago and it still isn't in my town, or in my hand.

Wow Random. I hope it comes today..... I would be climbing the walls.....

Trust me I am. I figured it was coming yesterday, and I was so excited/ anxious to get it. So if it doesn't come today I am going to die 8-o

hope it comes for ya today.

I know I would be going crazy.

I was yesterday, viping on my sidesho, constantly filling it up and charging on the only battery and atty I had left.

So, I was going crazy for my new VK to come, and it finally did about 4pm yesterday.

I'm oh so happy now.

All I can say? Don't trust USPS tracking. If it looks like it isn't where it should be, it's usually wrong. Sometimes they don't update it at all, sometimes they list it in an entirely different state (thousands of miles away) when it's in your mailbox (or will be the next day). Sit tight. Let me know if you don't get it in a few days.

Alright, thank you.

I've replied to this on several threads.

It isn't 'tracking', it's 'delivery confirmation'.

The usps isn't required to scan the package at every stop in and out.

It's only required to scan it at 'delivery'.

It's mainly for a confirmation to the 'seller', to make sure it was 'delivered'.

The only 'true' tracking systems are usps and fedex, where their required to scan the package in and out at every stop.

usps doesn't do that at every stop and their not required to do so. Their only required to scan it when it's 'delivered'.

so, it's do unreliable for tracking purposes.

Have to agree, USPS is worse then normal, and it is normally bad

One of my orders hasn't been updated in 5 days. Normally it would be here a few days ago. It is my purple battery so I am excited to get that!

I think the majority of us know that the tracking isn't really tracking, but at least for us east coasters who are used to following V4L packages from door to door, service has been noticeably worse. I am sure it is all weather related.

I agree, it only gets 'worse' due to their backup.

so, 'scanning' (if it's usually done) at the usual places doesn't take place.

I actually didn't know that. So hopefully it's in my town and they just didn't scan it.

yea, most don't know that. The usps has most of us 'tricked' into thinking it's a 'true tracking' system.

it is sooooo NOT ups or fedex.

I sell online and you can't believe the e-mails and calls I get all day long asking where their packages are. But, it's so much cheaper most times to use usps.

I'm explaining the difference between usps and ups/fedex all the time to my customers.
I explain it and tell them it should be there/delivered between 3 and 5 BUSINESS days and if it's not, THEN get back to me.

I agree. Don't trust the USPS "delivery confirmation number":

Did you notice that it "Processed through Sort Facility" BEFORE they got the shipping info?

yea, typical usps. That's why I'm always getting calls and e-mails from customers.

I need to review my shipping quotes for ups ground and fedex and get some volume discounts, so at least my customers will have 'real tracking'.

It came!!!!!!

 

[rpgman]

It came!!!!!!

cool, begin the viping ritual!!!! lol

USPS should change the wording on that site. It does say "Track and Confirm" leading one to believe that they can track their packages.

Mine didn't arrive today either It typicaly takes 2 days sometimes 3. This is day 5, keeping my fingers crossed for a Monday delivery.
