I can't remember the last time I didn't have something coming in from overseas or being shipped stateside. I've always had multiple tracking numbers saved and looked at them constantly throughout the day. But today was the day I experienced tracking bliss. I had 4 separate shipments scheduled for delivery today, Tuesday and Wednesday, but all were delivered today. It was an odd sensation, not having to worry about the status of an incoming package (lost, damaged, returned, etc.). Has anyone else been stuck in a tracking loop? Or do I just buy too many Transformers
If that wasn't my life for the last 18 months. When this all started, it also coincided with the start of my TF collecting. Free time + lack of self-control = infinite packages in the mail.
I've been having the opposite, selling something on eBay, waiting for tracking to say it arrived, and then waiting long enough that the buyer hopefully isn't going to try to open a return. Not a bad problem to have obviously, but I hate how easy they've made it to abuse eBay's return policy so I always worry a little bit, especially with higher-cost and/or large/heavy (therefore expensive to ship) items.
Nah.. I found the micro.. err nevermind. But I did have a package go from Wi, to Texas, to Ohio, to Michigan, to Ohio, back to Michigan again, back to Ohio, then after that to my house.
Not right now but a few months back I bought something from a guy on Toyark and it went from his place in Virginia to Florida to Colorado (my location), back to Florida, then to CO, FL, CO, FL, CO, FL, CO, FL, CO and back to FL until about a month and a half later when it was actually delivered to me. They wouldn't even let me pick it up from the PO saying the label was too damaged ot verify it was to be delivered to me. -_-
The only flaw of the postal office is that they don't do a good enough job in hiring at weeding out tennis fans
I've had a pretty expensive item I sold stuck in Portland only a zip code or two over from its destination for close to two weeks now, and another item I bought sitting around its origin post office in New York waiting to get scanned in for just as long. I opened an initial inquiry about the one in Portland and it jut got closed, they couldn't find it. It's not officially lost yet, but I'm really worried I'm about to lose a lot of money.
Mine seem to go in waves…I’ll get two or three things incoming from different places…and then nothing for weeks. Last year was certainly busier, but I’ve been scaling back this year. Plus, BBTS and the like have been really slow getting their stock in. Lots of stuff is overdue at the moment.
I help ship things around for work and I’m not gonna lie, sometimes things go by routes so arcane I beggars belief.
I bought 3 trashed insecticons from three different eBay vendors within an hour. One the seller couldn’t find it to ship. The next was right on time. The last looped around for a week. The seller contacted me because she wanted to check in. Over the next week we made jokes on where it would go next. Finally this $4 robot arrived after like 3 weeks. I let her know immediately. She was going to refund me and I emailed her just in time. I was glad since this was in no way her fault. Lol.
