USPS question

[rjl296]

if im trying to track a package, every time i type in the tr # . i get this message saying something, like its not found ??

is this normal ??
but the canadapost site says it entered the states 5 days ago.
fuck , its supposed to be delivered by now

Very normal, us customs during the holidays can be super crazy.

 

[rjl296]

okay.
i heard that it wont show up in the tracking system, until its been delivered.
is this true

 

[TheLordofIron]

That's true.

 

[rjl296]

That's true.

thank you.
thats fucking dumb.
oh well

USPS priority mail has a tendency to not get scanned in, thus not tracked very well...But coming from Canada I don't know...(I only know about priority mail and express mail )

 

[rjl296]

its supposed to be express mail.
it was supposed to be 3-5 days. from last tuesday .

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh

Express should be trackable as soon as it has entered us customs and ready to be sent out, they dont wait until it is delivered. From Canada 5 days is longer than normal though and if there is no record it means it hasnt even hit customs yet.

i check the canada post website, and it said this

Date of Event Time of Event Location Description Retail Location Signatory Name
2003/12/04 19:56 Arrival in destination country
2003/12/04 02:33 Dispatched from origin country
2003/12/03 22:30 Dispatched from Canada

If it's held in customs I believe the shipping status will say so.

 

[sh4dowf4lcon]

it will say being held or Customs Hold on the tracking site

 

[rjl296]

its just a MO, so it shouldnt be held up ???

I got my last package before i was able to track it on the web site. That shit between USPS and Canadapost never works.
