Title: USPS Priority Tracking says Missent ?
Post by: mymrdocmcstuffins on February 14, 2013, 10:15 pm
I placed an order with a highly rated vendor using my real name and address, it was shipped USPS priority on 02/11/13; vendor provided tracking number.  There were no updates until today (not that unusual for USPS), today the status was updated to "out for delivery" to another zip code in my state about 120 miles away, the next status is "Missent".  I have sent the vendor a message, and I am awaiting a reply.  Has anyone ever encountered this type of problem? How worried should I be ?

To me, it just sounds like the post office screwed up.  I mean they are government workers and all.

I doubt if it was being prepared for a controlled delivery, that they would have updated anything.

according to a quick google, apparently 'missent' means that it was shipped to the wrong post office. whichever post office accidentally got it will be shipping it to the correct one

A package I sent home from Japan once got missent. Took two extra months for it to arrive. Why? Because they sent it back to Japan FIRST, then reshipped it to my house :S This will probably go smoother, though.

Package arrived today; it seems that it just went to the wrong post office.

Glad everything worked for you, thanks for sharing the experience, at least I'll have an idea of what could be happening if tracking says missent.
