Will My Usps Package Be Here Today

USPS says my package will be here today and is in transit. The mailman already came and went. Will I still be getting my package today?

In a magical world I would say yes but in the real one I have to say no. Your package does not state out for delivery so that means your local office has not even received it yet. You can safely go about your business as if your parcel is not coming. If by some miracle it does reach your local office today and you have a high enough service level they might sent the poor carrier or his boss out near the end of the day to make sure that you get it on time.

USPS estimates my package will come today but the usps mailman already came today and didn't have my package. Will it still arrive today?

Had this happen to me yesterday said it would be delivered by 8pm but finally got an update at 7:15pm that it arrived in Nashville and didn't depart there till 5:55am now there is no expected delivery date and its been over 12 hours since then and no update even though Nashville is an hour away but I think that may be because it's a Sunday.. Also a package that I shipped was due to be delivered yesterday but it didn't arrive yesterday as well and now has no expected delivery date on it as well.. This all was probably due to usps being closed for Thanksgiving even though both packages were 2 day but the distance was just too great to make it on time..

If it says I will get my package at 8pm, would I get the package at that time, or the next day?

Usually tracking says “BY” a certain time…like BY 8 pm. That doesn’t mean that they will deliver AT 8 pm, but before or at that time. It all depends on the service (deliverer) and their route and the load they have. Their deliveries are optimized to save time and mileage. IF you are expecting a delivery at a residence, then you are relegated to the end of the list. Most shippers deliver to commercial places first. Why? Simply because businesses are only open between certain times and they want the delivery to get to them ASAP. Residences are usually outliers (like suburbs) and further away from the distribution point and people are usually not home during business hours but at home after hours. So, residential deliveries are usually done later in the day…5–8pm when people are home just in case a signature is required for delivery. I had two LEGO sets delivered recently, one by UPS and one by FedEx and they both required signatures…they both came in around that 5–8pm window since they were for my daughter and I had them mailed to my house. OTOH, when I order medical equipment, they arrive around 10am-12pm in the morning during office hours.

The package says it's out for delivery and it's 10 PM. Will it be here tomorrow or tonight?

Sounds like the package was scanned in error to me and a correction or update to the tracking may come up in the data ( tracking ) soon. I recommend comparing today’s date, with the date, the package was scheduled to be delivered and that may tell you exactly what you need to know if it says it will be out today and the scheduled delivery is one or two days later, it’s very likely, the package was scanned in error. However, even though many scheduled deliveries show a date of delivery, the item is often delivered a day earlier than scheduled. That happens because mail can be processed and delivered quicker if it’s staying on the same side of the country, otherwise it can easily take another day to go from Miami Beach to Seattle. It may also require another day if it is delivered in a rural area, rather than the much larger city the mail had been processed for delivery or to its actual station that will handle the delivery. Most Priority Mail and First C;ass Mail moves quickly in the U.S. All considering, the cost to do that, is lower than anywhere else in the world. If the U.S. Mail is ever sold to private industry, we’ll be paying at least 3 times the amount we are paying now, delivery will be much much slower and our veterans will be out of a job and those who will be replacing our veterans, will have to accept a much lousy benefits, a much much lower wage, including minimum wage ( believe me, it’s not worth the hard work ) and it would be a disaster to U.S. economy…….
