USPS TRACKING NUMBER SHOWS NOTHING AT ALL...HELP?
If your tracking is not showing up as anything, then there is a possibility that USPS lost the package I used to sell in both Amazon and eBay, and I've had this happen to me a lot of times. Sometimes the tracking only shows that the package was dropped off -- then nothing. When this happens, the item is lost and never found. I typically file a complaint and fill out the form for lost items but not once did I retrieve any of those packages. It's a pain As a seller, I give my buyer tracking code. But in the instance when the tracking code shows nothing, I send the buyer a PDF of the scan of the USPS receipt as proof that I've sent it It's not the seller's fault as he/she has given it to USPS. Unfortunately, without purchasing insurance from USPS, they won't refund the money or the cost of the item Talk it out with the seller. The seller may be amenable to absorbing the loss, even if it was not his/her fault
I dropped off a UPS package today but the online tracking info shows that the package did not leave the store at the end of the day. Is this normal?
Your package is called a “Drop off” and while the UPS store may scan it for their records and any financial compensation they may get from UPS for handling the package; a pre-labeled drop off package isn't scanned into the UPS system by the UPS Store.When the UPS Driver comes at the end of the day to pickup all the drop offs (and other packages) they do not individually scan all the packages; drop offs or otherwise.Your package will be taken back to the UPS Center from which the UPS truck originated (in most cases), and the package will receive its first scan sometime in the evening when it is loaded in an outbound trailer going to either a local hub, or if at the hub already, to the next city or airport in its journey towards its final destination.So yes, it is completely normal for you not to see a package scan in the tracking information you are looking up online until sometime that evening.Furthermore, if you dropped the package off on a Saturday or Sunday; you won't see a scan on the package until Monday night (A package with the service level of ‘Next Day Air’ or ‘Early A.M. Next Day Air’ being the exceptions, if it was dropped off before 12 noon on a Saturday at a UPS Store or another participating UPS drop off location which has a Next Day Air pickup by UPS on Saturdays).
Can a USPS tracking number be fake?
Sure they can be fake or the person giving the number might have transposed a number. Also a lot of parcels are sent out UPS and are dropped off at the post office for delivery. Same with FedEx. They have their own numbering system. So until they are dropped off at the post office they might be only traceable by those numbers. They usually have letters in their tracking # and are shorter. Once they get to the post office the go by postal tracking # which are like 5 or 6 sets of 4 numbers. Express and foreign tracking # can be different also. The traceability ends after 90 days I believe.
Can I drop off USPS first class packages in the mailbox?
It's OK, but it's not the way to go if you want it tracked. You need to get it into the hands of a postal employee who will see it and know that it needs an 'acceptance' scan. That would be a clerk at the window, or your carrier at your house. Dropping it in a collection box means that the collection person will most likely not see the barcode amongst all the other mail. It will probably eventually be scanned somewhere along the way, but the acceptance scan most likely won't be one of them.
Does USPS tracking say delivered as soon as the package is dropped off?
I am waiting on a package to be delivered and the USPS tracking says it is out for delivery and I want to get the package from my apartments mailboxes as soon as its delivered. I remember seeing in the past postmen scanning packages as they drop them off, so does that update the tracking instantly? My question is, can i trust the USPS tracking to say delivered as soon as they drop the package off or will that not update until way after its been delivered?
Can I drop off a package that says UPS (but has a USPS barcode) at a USPS story?

Can I drop off USPS packages at a UPS store?
Most definitely. Personal experience, we had a driver running late so I was sent to make the pick up at his UPS store. Once I had picked up the UPS parcels, I noticed they had USPS parcels and letters to be picked up. Seeing their mail carrier had already picked up there and I still had to go by the Post Office on my route for my pickup there, they gladly accepted my offer to take the USPS items there. I think I shocked a few customers there that were still coming in. It took about 5-10 minutes to load everything up and those that had mail to drop off were told to bring it outside to me if they wanted it sent that day. The look on their faces was priceless!
USPS Priority mail package problem! Still no updates with track number?
Okay, so ive asked this before, but hear me out, its kinda a little odd. I placed a order through amazon via 3rd party. The seller sent me a email though amazon saying my package had been shipped, that was sunday (15th) it even included a tracking number and all. Pretty normal. The seller put the est. delivery date jan. 23rd-feb 7th! But the package is being sent priority mail? So i thought, alright.. itll probably get here sometime this week! That being said, i checked daily on the track and confirm- but nothing has changed! Still says this.. Class: Priority Mail® Service(s): Signature Confirmation™ Status: Electronic Shipping Info Received The U.S. Postal Service was electronically notified by the shipper on January 15, 2012 to expect your package for mailing. This does not indicate receipt by the USPS or the actual mailing date. Delivery status information will be provided if / when available. Information, if available, is updated periodically throughout the day. Please check again later. So contacted USPS and they said they dont have the package, they only recieved info from the seller that they are sending the package. Im so confused, i did email the seller about the problem. and i dont think they are trying to scam me, they have 100% feedback and are actually known for shipping items out quickly.. just not for me i guess.. any ideas?!
How can you track my package that was transferred from UPS to USPS?
Packages transferred from UPS to USPS is usually for fianl delivery and UPS will not provide any further tracking info. At the same time, you may not track your packages on USPS tracking site.If it is not transferred to final delivery, then you can try to enter the same tracking number on either UPS tracking site or USPS tracking site!
