My First Class Packages always have updates from when it was shipped, here's the tracking info from my most recent order from Halo:
View attachment 340282
In my experience First Class tracking info always updates when it's received by the origin facilities, and when it's arrived at the destination facility.
Unfortunately with Halo I constantly see "Electronic Shipping Info Received" for at least a day, sometimes 2-3, and then finally they drop it off and it says "Accepted At USPS Origin Sort Facility". Of course my last two orders were both dropped off the day after it said the shipping info was received, and surprisingly they were the only orders that I selected First Class instead of Priority
All that "Electronic Shipping Info Received" means is that Halo has printed out the shipping label, once it's dropped off it will be scanned at the end of the day (5-6pm EST for Halo). So basically I've found that if it doesn't say "Accepted" by around 6pm EST then that means Halo hasn't dropped it off yet. Of course there is always the chance that the PO forgot to scan it at the end of the day, but I can't remember that ever happening to me (and I use USPS quite a bit, for both shipping and receiving).
i think Halo (and several others) use batch shipping methods. so while each order has it's own tracking number, there's a global number that end users don't see that gets priority updating from USPS' end. multiple orders are rolled into one to save money/time/Princess Zelda but USPS tracking goes haywire because they have yet to join the 21st century with technology.
"electronic info recieved" does not even have to mean that USPS has even gotten posession of it. Large business shippers when creating their own shipping lables, generate that shipping info and transmit it to the USPS themselves. So as I understand these things, that "tag" just means that the shipment has been created in the system, it does not mean that it has even been picked up from Halo yet.
yes, but past experience has shown this may not be the case. i've seen the same notice for days, then all of a sudden when it's delivered, all the notices get listed -after- it's dropped off in my mailbox. as if the journey across the U.S. took only 90 seconds.
i honestly dunno what's goin on, but last 4-5 times, it's been USPS just not updating their end.
yes the status will only update when it touches main sort offices and your local (last stop) office.
or as i mentioned, after it is already delivered in my mailbox.
You totally killed my hopes for a weekend Halo VapeMail delivery. I'm in the same boat, a canoe without a paddle!
