So I have two items in the mail, completely different sellers, assured me they shipped with USPS priority mail, and neither is showing up when I put in the numbers.
Instead I get this "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."
What the hay? Is anyone else having this problem?
-
Yes, the usps.com website can go on the fritz. But also it can also take a long time to update the correct status. And I emphasize "correct" because I've had the package in my hand and the site will still say it's somewhere else far away....
I have weird package tracking status all the time! :shocked:
edit for grammar.... >_<
-
I'd call your local P.O. and see if they can tell you what it means, I haven't a clue!
-
This is the message you get for insurance numbers, or tracking from another country that's trackable in their country, but not ours.
As I said in another post, I've had this issue twice lately, where a DC# was giving me this message.
Update: actually, my package that was from another country that said that just updated today :)
"Your Item's Status
We have received notice that the originating post is preparing to dispatch this mail piece."
:) So don't lose hope!
-
That message can also come up if your seller has transposed the numbers on the DC slip. I've done it before myself so I am speaking first hand here. :)
-
Hmm well I guess we'll see. Generally I don't have problems with the tracking. Both packages in question are from within the US too. I'm not worried per-se, more annoyed because I like to know when my stuff's gonna get here as it's very hard for me to pick up things from my apartment's office (can only go tues, sat &sun) and sometimes usps doesnt leave their "we missed you!" note. Then by the time I find out I have to wait a few days to go get my things >_<
-
I just shipped my TAF pony back today with DC and i'm getting that message on tracking right now. I checked and rechecked my numbers, they're all correct.
UGH BUGGY USPS!
-
AHA! So it's not an incorrect number, it's the postal service being a butt :P
-
I have a package from the UK that hasn't updated on the USPS website since July 23. It's driving me nuts! >_<
-
I am glad to hear that it maybe a glitch. :)
Because I have spent the last two days trying to figure it out. And I could not come up with anything, not even on USPS's site.
-

It sure looks like it ^^ :awake: lets hope they update soon!

Are there any major weather problems going on anywhere that could slow down the USPS? :(

Not really =/ We're having an awful drought but I don't see how that affects their computer systems :hmm:.

Maybe the heat is frying/has fried some wires or some computers.
-
the tracking number "fixed"/updated today.
Your Item's Status
Your item departed.....(etc)
Any luck for you, Rhini?

Yeah o_O it's all fine now. And apparently I have a package waiting xD THANKS FOR LETTING ME KNOW UPS.

I just wanted to check based on the topic title: is the problem with UPS or the US Postal Service. Right now I am :enraged: with USPS.
-
US postal service and yes I believe we are all a little :pullhair: with them right now. The post man left my package by my mailbox instead of turning it into the office which he's NOT supposed to do but whatever I got it >.> Yay underwater art pony and Venus!

Instead of hijacking your thread, I started another thread.
Tornado.....:cry:
Modified to add:
Congrats! I'm glad you got your ponies despite the confusion.

United states postal service is USPS generally :) I think that's where the confusion is.
