I had an order last week and on myusps.com lists my order as having created a label and then the next day there was a change to pre-shipment to usps. Is this common for orders to delay like this or am I in limbo with my order. I know that myusps.com most often updates overnight but I've heard so many stories where orders remain the same for long periods of time.
If anyone has any experience with and would like to share their stories please write back. (Hopefully some encouraging words find their way in there. lol)
I appreciate your time and knowledge.
Thanks everyone!
Don't sweat it. USPS tracking is shitty. Think of it more as a delivery confirmation service as opposed to a tracking service. I got tracking from a vendor once and it was the worst, cause I kept checking it in anticipation lol.
I paid a couple bucks extra for 2-day shipping on a recent order. Didn't show on the 3rd day, messaged vendor, got tracking. Vendor shipped it same day I ordered, next day it said something like "depart origin sort facility." Then no updates for days.
The day it finally ended up being delivered, a group of cops were at the door right after :(
Just kidding. The day it ended up being delivered, I finally had tracking updates in the morning, a bunch really quickly. Arrived in my local sorting center like 2am that day, then at my local post office a few hours later, then out for delivery. Then I got high.
It was 4 or 5 business days without a tracking update.
From now on, just gonna check after ordering to make sure vendor has marked shipped in a timely fashion, then wait 5 business days from that day before checking on tracking.
