Poll of the Day > how do you fuck up tracking a package this much

(+) Yeah! (+)

its not even in order

---

I dont even bother tracking stuff anymore I just assume I wont get it

---

It looks like it grouped it by location and then in chronological order for some reason. That's odd.

FedEx?

FedEx?

Fuck FedEx

Still waiting for my package they say was "delivered" Thursday afternoon.
I know I'm never fucking getting it.

I don't think I've ever had a delivery from FedEx not get fucked up or never arrive. I remember last year losing a vacuum cleaner into the ether thanks to them, too.

I had a package show up at my door before it was shipped somehow.

what does this even mean

what does this even mean

It means they handed the package off to the USPS (or someone else, but usually it's USPS).

They don't want to spend the money driving around to every individual neighborhood, so a lot of times UPS and FedEx will just bring it to the local post office and let them do it.

If mine said that, at least I'd know it's still coming. But mine just straight up claims it was delivered and left in front of a door.

definitely not usps

what i'm getting is not able to be sent through usps.

not ups or fedex either, because it'd show up on my thing telling me

maybe dhl? are they still around?

there is a tracking number, but it doesn't go to anything. i just tried dhl even

Tracking Information
To check your tracking directly with shipping carriers, view here:
X Delivery Tracking Website [Tracking Number that starts with "XLX"]
Local Regional Carriers - Tracking will be available in your account or Check Order Status Page

Packages en route to the Midwest or Eastern half of the U.S. will require longer transit times (7-17 business days) due to a 2-Step Shipping Process:
1. First, packages are transported via commercial trucks across the country to a regional carrier near you, which can take up to 7 days. In some cases, tracking email and status updates will only be available once the package is scanned at the carrier's destination hub.
2. Once received and processed at the hub, the package will make its way to the final destination to the customer.

nothings changed, i'm just considering it "lost" at this point

Sounds like people in this topic have some pretty terrible luck with shipping issues. I have probably a bit under a hundred packages per month delivered to me at work and have very few issues with any of them. Maybe I'm just lucky with where I am, but I'd be fucked if I couldn't count on Fedex/UPS/USPS.

For the most part, with the few issues I have run into over the years, I will call the vendor I purchased it from and if they confirm the issue I am dealing with in shipping they'll deal with the shipping company while they resend me a new package.

Sorry your item appears to be lost for now. Hopefully it isn't anything that is too vital.

My package that was "delivered" Thursday last week is still nonexistent and FedEx is still "investigating".
They told me that the driver had GPS data that they were at the address. I said that's bs, it was supposedly delivered at 1:48 P.M. to a leasing office. They were open at the time, and said FedEx never even made any deliveries that day.
I was browsing the FedEx subreddit, and apparently drivers falsely marking their location and delivery isn't uncommon. One dude even said he saw the damn truck from his front porch at a stop light and then drive off, figured it mustn't have been his delivery, then moments later got an update that they attempted delivery and no one was home. :D

Just be patient jeez you spoiled white kids expect everything to just stop and cater to you stop being so dramatic tc . (For real)

They may still be the last mile deliverer, especially if you are in a rural area, USPS is literally the only carrier that will service those areas. Which means it's stuck in the holiday backlog that's been compounded by Postmaster DeJoy's "efficiencies" as he tries to push the conservative wet dream of full privatization of the postal service.

no, my package is legally not allowed to be handled by usps

That's bad then, as it is likely now sitting in the office of a postal inspector, I hope whatever it was, wasn't too illegal. Fun Fact; postal inspectors are federal agents with all the powers thereof.

Doesn't matter who the shipper is, if you live in an area that is "last mile" serviced, it's likely USPS, and the original shipping company will hand it to the USPS, regardless of whether or not USPS can legally accept and deliver it.

there's a lot of things out there that is illegal for USPS to handle that isn't actually illegal my person

---

oh shit it turns out the tracking was updated today after all, i just didn't notice because


it's the same thing

---

Did you try calling FexEx and asking who the final mile carrier is?

EDIT: Fine, did you try contacting whoever the carrier is and asking who the final mile carrier is?
Better?

it's not fedex

or ups, either

there are many shipping companies that arent usps, fedex, or ups.

I ordered a new laptop on Aug 20th. Laptop shipped via FedEx on Oct. 25th. Arrived at destination facility on Oct. 29th. Laptop was never scheduled for delivery nor did they ever try to deliver it. Called to start a trace. Was determined laptop was stolen in shipment. Had to get a refund and order a new laptop.

so my package arrived

the tracking is unchanged

a signature was required, but i guess that wasn't very important after all because the dude just tossed it onto the steps and left in an unmarked white van


---

that would be an amazon van.

the majority of the dispatch companies don't bother getting branded vans
---

it was not from amazon
