Yeah, I know - but they have gotten a lot better about that for Priority Mail (I think first class & parcel post still lag far behind). The last several priority mail packages I've received had tracking that looked like typical UPS info.

i hope that is the case but i highly doubt it.
i only use the usps priority mail when i ship goods, and i always try to use the same method when i purchase something. so far, the usps tracking has been very accurate every single time. there were cases where the updates were a few hours behind but there were always updates made in timely manner. i've never had a case where the update was 24 hours or 48 hours behind actual movement of the shipment.

Then I guess I just might be very unlucky.

Yes, I received my TWag cable from Craig at Whiplash today that he shipped on 7th March but USPS tracking is still just showing the "Electronic Shipping Info Received" message so it seems USPS tracking is no good

The USPS doesn't offer "tracking" of any kind for domestic Priority Mail packages. The service offered is Delivery Confirmation and is only intended to update upon delivery. Sometimes you get better information, sometimes you don't, it's a total crap-shoot based on which PO's the package travels through and whether or not they bother to scan it. I've send and received many packages with DC on them and I'd say 99% didn't update past the info received stage until after I'd already received the item.

The error here is that people expect it to be tracking and it simply isn't.

I paid on January 24th.
However, any has not received it yet....
Well, when is my amount shipped?

Perhaps I'm mistaken, but this looks like tracking to me:

USPS - Track & Confirm

USPS - Track & Confirm

they call it "track and confirm", but it's just "confirm, sorta"

 

[tjumper78]

since justin said he shipped 30 on tuesday morning, most buyers in the US should receive their packages either today or tomorrow. some should have received them even yesterday.
priority mail = 2~3 business days
last time justin sent me a package via priority mail (about 2 years ago), i received it the next day. i received most of the priority shipments from east coast within 1 day or two, and 2~3 for the ones from the west coast.
let's see if we get anything in the mail today or tomorrow.

I just lol'd Coke Zero out of my nose all over my keyboard.

Trust me, I will gladly eat my words when the mailroom guy sends me an email that I have a package today - or Monday.

 

[tjumper78]

good news.
the tracking shows that the package arrived at the local post office this morning.
not sure if it'll be delivered today or on monday.
fingers crosses...

lol @ Sea Monkey.

Justin always delivers.

All shipped now then? My inbox is empty.

So I still haven't received a tracking number...Has anyone recieved their pico yet? I thought everyone was atleast supposed to have their tracking number by Saturday.
