Something not right? Any ideas?

I made an international order from Germany to EU. So the vendor gave me the tracking number which works fine on German postal site but doesn't work on my postal site?! I then get a docket at the drop as no one was there to sign and the tracking number is almost identical to the German tracking number except for ONE digit and when entered it works fine on my postal site but not the German site?!

Something doesn't seem right, surely a tracking number should be consistent throughout the transit? I'm very sketchy about picking up the package now. Any ideas?

That number isn't going to change. Only how you feel about it as you sit there thinking too much.

You won't be able to think up a better way to receive mail, even if you concentrate until you go cross-eyed. Receiving mail is passive, so stop acting suspicious and go and pick it up before you find a way to blow it somehow.

man theres a billion threads just like this everyday.. this makes me laugh..

so ur not going to pick it up? You know whats going to happen if you don. They'll attempt to send it back to the return address. at this point theyll either realize its fictious, open it, then youll be screwed. OR theyll send it back and the resident at the return address will open it and either call the cops and your screwed OR keep it.

either way, as BBMC said, getting mail is the easiest thing ever. it just happens. Go walk to the PO and grab it in person. YAY!

if they wanted to arrest you, it would've happened by now.

Approved. Sorry about that.

The tracking number sometimes changes between services, but one digit indeed sounds weird.

It is weird. The package has taken a long time to get here too, that's why I'm so suspicious. My theory is that they changed it so that it couldn't be tracked on my side and perhaps they could do a CD.

Everything worked out in the end. Paranoia will destroy ya.

Thanks for all the help people.
