3/27/2023 0 Comments Usps in transit arriving on time![]() IMO many of the delivery issues are due to the "human factor". We ship to all 50 US states, PO Boxes, US Protectorates - Guam, Marianna Islands, Puerto Rico, etc We have a one day handling time - most often we ship the same day and ship stuff on Saturdays that were paid for on late Friday night. Most usually the estimated delivery time has been met and often have been delivered early. We have shipped 1527 items via USPS -primarily Priority Mails Service and a few First Class package since 2010, never use Parcel Select/Ground - have had 2 lost, both went into the USPS black hole at the Jamaica, New York sort facility & never came out - hmmm, 1 was damaged and less than a hand full late most during the Holiday traffic jam period but none really late. When USPS, FedEx, UPS provde an estimated delivery time how can any thing be late.Ģ. I am now uncertain if that "arriving late" is an eBay only tracking wording (that refers to late in terms of eBay's EDD not the original USPS projected delivery date.ġ. Just looked at the actual USPS tracking to archive it as usual as opposed to the eBay tracking I referred to here and no "arriving late" appears. but that verbiage makes it glaring when one glances at the tracking.Īnother part may be that USPS does seem to be slipping a bit in delivery times the last 6 months or so (based on casual observance of First Class Pkg and Priority transit times) - a few hours here, and extra 1/2 day there, and you start seeing a day later than seemed typical last year. Those shipments may have behaved similarly before. Part of the reason in some cases may be software reasons though - the "arriving late" is one of the changes USPS made to the verbiage in the tracking a while back, and really stands out when looking at tracking. It shouldn't have taken 3 1/2 days to get from Sacramento to Los Angeles, the 4 days+ to PA is right on the mark for truck transport (2500 miles at 6600/day), then it dawdled some more. It dawdled a bit in transit, received an "in transit, arriving late" tag, and was delivered late beyond the eBay EDD (even though I have a 2 day handling time, order was Wed after hours, and it was at PO next morning a day ahead of my handling cutoff)ĭropped at Sacramento PO counter 11AM Thurs, no acceptance or local dist center scans, first scan Sun 5pm at Los Angeles dist center, scan at Pennsylvania dist center following Thurs 2pm, "in transit, arriving late" Fri 00:00am, arrived at local PA unit Sat 5am, out for delivery Sat 8am, delivered Sat 12pm. I've got a Parcel Select shipment exhibiting it right now, and was delivered eBay late. Good advice in general, but I'm seeing it also and my labels are "super fine, awesome, dynomite." >I have learned to use the best / highest print quality to make sure that is not causing the issue. Doing so will not affect the movement of your package in any way, but it will get you notified within minutes of its next appearance. Look up your package on the website, and on the tracking results page for your package number, you will find a section for signing up to get notifications. Regardless of whether you're the seller or buyer, you can sign yourself up for text or email updates whenever the package is scanned next, so that you don't have to keep checking the tracking manually. I would think it should resurface by then. If he's asking you about it, assure him that you're monitoring things, and ask him to be patient for another week. If you're the seller, don't contact the buyer if he's quiet, as he may have already received the package regardless, and you don't want to show that you don't know where it is. If you're the buyer, you can file an Item Not Received dispute if the last estimated date of delivery has passed. I found that disappointing because, well, late is late, although on the other hand, their admitting it does at least show that they know they messed up their original estimate, or that Something Bad has happened along the way, but in any case, they're admitting an error has occurred, which is more than some other companies manage to do. They've had the In Transit message in place for quite a few years now, which they would pop in to the log whenever 24 hours had gone by without a tracking update (repeating it up to three times before going silent), but more recently they've started flat-out admitting that it's going to be late. ![]() I have noticed the same thing over the past few months on my First Class Package shipments especially.
