Question about something strange in tracking info

[Kimmy]

Usually my tracking info is as follows, leaves Chicago Ill, then arrives in New Jersey, than goes straight to my house. In my current order tho, after New Jersey, it went to Philadelphia.

Anyone with more knowledge then me about USPS please let me know what this means

I have a feeling if I call the post office theyr'e just going to tell me that the tracking information is only to tell when it ships and when it arrives.

I'd call your local post office, they're public servants, and you're the public, after all, and my experience talking with the local postmaster on the edge of Dallas was not what I expected at all, he was very helpful both times.

Sounds like a previous order scan was missed in Philly. USPS is not known for their diligence in scanning packages.

 

[Belletrist]

my packages have gone to the sorting center in Sterling, VA twice before. *rolleyes*

 

[cr12]

theres no telling usps tracking system is trash.

 

[Kellyinbr]

Even though I know I should get my package tomorrow(South Louisiana), mine still says its sitting in Chicago

The last order I received stayed "shipping info received" until it hit my local Post Office. It was waiting for me when I got off work the same day.

As an aside, I have another package that is out for delivery today!

I made the mistake of placing an order on New Years' Day. Understandably, it didn't ship until the 4th.
Here I am on the 6th, two days without cartomizers, and still nothing in the mail. Now I'm smoking gross old Camel Lights that I've had in my car for a couple of months. Feels and tastes AWFUL.
Thanks a lot, USPS!

as a former platinum ebay power seller, I can tell you that the USPS tracking system is nothing like UPS who scans the package when it arrives anywhere. Instead, it is scanned when shipped then when it arrives at the destinations local PO and finally when it is delivered.

Some times it never gets scanned at all! Only when it gets delivered already..

Hmmm! My order that is out for delivery right now is the one I placed at 1 second before midnight on New Years Eve, and it shipped on the 4th also.

You're a lot closer to Chicago than I am!

You have no juice?
When I ran out I was reusing dead cartomizers, tailpipe dripping so they tasted good

The post office here tends to take their sweet time with delivering anything. I once had a package (not e-cig related) sitting in the post office for two days, and I eventually just drove down there to pick it up. I have no way of knowing where this particular package is at the moment though, since USPS never scans their packages.
I know these guys don't get paid a whole lot, but they should at least make some effort.

I only hope that, at some point in the future, V4L adds additional shipping options through UPS or FedEx.

I do have a tiny bit of juice, but all the old cartomizers I have are burned out, and that tastes almost as bad as the analogs I'm smoking. Blech!

Well, I pop the cap off and refill it to the max, usually even on a dead carto, the first dozen drags taste good, then it's back to old socks for the next hundred or whatever.
However, If you take those 15 drags, add a drop or 2, and continue, then it vapes nicely, but I leave the end caps off (And do this on a manual battery/PT) because I vape 15 drags in about 5 minutes Thus the term 'tailpiping'

Might not work for you or be too much hassle, but if it works you might prefer it to analogs.

Generally it means some sort of human error..
Letters get scanned, some smaller packages get scanned but most packages and parcels get hand sorted..
A Pod comes into the hub and some guy by hand pulls em out and sorts em to different carts and pods often by state...and then some other guy sorts the ones for that hubs sattelite offices by zip code and city...so often it really comes down to one guy misreading a label and off it goes to another hub..

Once my order went to Louisville KY via St Louis MO (if you look at the map you'll know why it seemed funny to me). But I did not take it longer than usual.

Kimmy! Don't try to figure out USPS. Nobody ever has.

If you want a good laugh, check out this USPS tracking number:

9101805213907759298198

Pay really close attention to the dates.

 

[Kimmy]

Thanks everybody! Its weird I've been ordering CONSTANLTy from V4l for over a month or two and it NEVER said it was in Philadelphia. Usually its pretty accurate. Sometimes I can check to see if the mail has arrived without going outside! haha. Oh well, I really hope it comes tomorrow, got some smores and lemonlimeaid to try out!

 

[antithesis]

i'll give you the track number when i make the order for my end of our trade, and we'll see if that does/says anything different!
