Title: USPS Tracking Not Working?
Post by: scott on February 14, 2013, 02:40:52 pm
Anyone else seem to have problems with the new USPS tracking? I have a few items out, both mailing out and coming in, and I either get an error or no status whatsoever.

I've had no issues whatsoever since the changeover.

Hmm, seems like a lot of the time I keep getting:

Delivery status information is not available for your item via this web site. A return receipt after mailing may be available through your local Post Office.

The copy of Awakening that I sent to you is the 1st thing I've shipped since the change-over...just out of curiosity - have you checked-on/is the tracking # for it working as it should be?

This confirms my theory that the world is against you.

*Shameless plug*

Next time, use FedEx. Problem solved.

Yep. Be it PCs, Order tracking or what ever.

Actually... FedEx tracking has been the bane of my existence many times too.

Last time I dealt with FedEx I ordered a motor for my dryer.  It shipped from St Louis> Kansas City, sat there for 3 days.  Then went to a small town in Kansas and sat there for 2 days.  Then back to Kansas City, sat there for a week.  Never mind it was supposed to be delivered to my door, instead got sent to the Post Office with no notice.  If I hit the tracking number on it it still to this day, says it's in Kansas City.

That's been the worst for me, but I can't say that all experiences have been bad.  Just that one was really bad   :-\

It's showing up for me. I just checked it this evening for the first time so I'm not sure if it was updated as quickly as usual.

It doesn't have an update past the 13th but it says it will be here tomorrow (15th).

Cool.

Yeah, when I mailed it - they estimated that you'd get it on Fri.

I know (depending on who you're using), that it can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days before everything "catches-up"...

No issues here, though I think the only USPS stuff I've tracked has been from Amazon.

If anyone ever has a problem with FedEx Express, let me know. I have ways of finding out more info.

Will you make them an offer they can't refuse? :)

Well when Belmont's Revenge showed up yesterday. I ran the tracking number right on the box, figuring that maybe it was entered incorrectly on eBay. Nope, ha. Still nothing. It's kinda funny, but stupid at the same time.
