USPS website tracking delays?

[Cyia]

I don't know if it's just cause it's Friday and everyone at USPS is being LAZZZYYY but they haven't updated anything! Now good news despite what the usps site said I did receive my liquidxpress bottle today and it kinda taste like cloves (the original e-liquid flavor) Anyways, I'm in MO and the site still says that the bottle is in KS... delayed much? So I'm awaiting my velvetvapor order as well and all the site says is it received the order yesterday.. it hasn't moved since then which is odd.. I'm going to take a wild guess though and say it has moved.. and that the USPS is playin with my emotions lol. I was really crossing my fingers my sample pack would be here tomorrow but I'm lookin at monday at the earliest I think.. -sigh- I was never that good at the waiting game.

I'm waiting on something too. Not ecig related. It's says it's been in Kentucky since the 10th just sitting there. Maybe I should go check my mailbox.

No not cause it's Friday. They have been lazy all week, I ordered stuff on Weds and kept watching USPS and no updates so thought I wouldnt get it till Mon got stuff today yay. They are being super lazy lately.

 

[Cyia]

yay I'm not the only one! lol. Then I mighhttt get my order tomorrow which would be fantastic.

Such is the life of a Vaper.

Never before I started vaping, did I so zealousely await packages.
Refreshing the USPS tracking website every 30 minutes or so...sometimes faster..

I mean, it's not like there's a GPS tracking device attached to our package..
You're literally waiting for some guy to use their scanner to register the package arrived at each location..And even then, we're depending on the USPS's computer system to be accurate...
Now that's a laugh...

LOL.

I tend to get my packages before they update their system!

I did shipping & receiving for a couple years a while back; USPS tracking has always sucked. UPS was great, FedEx was decent, but USPS... argh. Might as well throw darts at a map.

I hate to say it but the tracking lies lol Well, ok, if someone forgets to swipe it, its not accurate - Ive had them say its in transit to the post office sorting office when Im standing at the door taking it off the postman. I just use the tracking now to show they have it at some point in the system - it doesn't seem taht accurate to me (my TV order USPS tracking shows my package is at Charlotte - its not, its on my desk..)

Got my new watch today! Tracking still says it's in KY.

Got my new watch today! Tracking still says it's in KY.

yay! glad it made it there!


and maybe this is why UPS is taking over the shipping business? Cause you suck USPS???

 

[Houdini]

I would still rather have something shipped USPS. I know the tracking system has always sucked big time but in most cases they are far faster than UPS or Fedex especially using Priority.

Delivery Confirmation that you get with USPS Priority Mail isn't really tracking. if you want actual tracking you need to have it sent Express. about the only guarantee you get with DC is that it will show when it's delivered.

Delivery Confirmation is just that.
Delivery Confirmation.

It is not meant to keep track of a package as it crosses the country. Sometimes they scan it along the way, sometimes they don't.

It only confirms the delivery.

I have never, not once, been able to rely on the USPS tracking thingy.

Even after the thing is physically in my hand, it will say it's somewhere else.

Today, I went to the PO to find a package that according to the tracking thingy had already been delivered to me.

Anymore, unless I've got a real good reason not to, I prefer having my stuff sent UPS or FedEx just for the enhanced tracking.

At least when they deliver it to somebody else, I know where (roughly) it is!
