Out Of Country Tracking Good Nothing On Usps

Is there a tracking number for the package?  If so I would go to the country of origin's tracking site and look it up there.  If it doesn't show it probably wasn't shipped.  I don't know where AM is, but if it's not domestic, try the country of origin's postal system website. 

 
have a question for anyone that may be able to offer some info - and, yes, i've read through the majority of the shipping/tracking forums so please don't bring out your pitchforks just yet if this has already been covered multiple times.  who knows, there's a good chance i may have missed it!  anyway - i placed an order with a popular email vendor late last week, and i very rarely use the tracking feature for updates.  my only concern is that the status has not changed from "Origin Post is Preparing Shipment" since the package was supposedly shipped (almost a week).

I am in no way doubting that the vendor isn't reliable, and, as mentioned earlier, i know that doesn't really mean shit when it comes to the dealings with usps!  is this normal for the majority?  i do remember someone stating that their order was never even updated and stayed in that status until the package arrived!  not stressing out, just curious more than anything!  any feedback would be much appreciated and if anyone else has firsthand knowledge of this i'd love to hear from ya /default_smile.png

 
@ slide -- No pitchforks here, but I do think you'd find it calming to re-read page one of this thread...

What you're describing has in fact been the usual for me: the "Origin Post" status stays stuck in place for several days, then several new scans are added all at once; those dates & times indicate the package has been getting scanned regularly all along its journey, it's just that the tracking site wasn't updated.

 
thanks, blue!  i actually found some extra info about 10 mins after that post!  it happens, i guess!  thanks again - have a good one /default_smile.png

 
I've some experience with indiapost (I think that was the name of it) and it was somewhat accurate while it was abroad. Eventually I could track it via USPS once it got over here but still not very accurate. The first time I was anxious and constantly checking. Generally it was always a few days off and my package arrived sooner than I thought. Not worth the anxiety of trying to check all the time, it's never spot on. Just my opinion. 

 
I have a couple international packages in transit atm.  Now that I've read this thread, I'm worried because I've been tracking (stalking) them many many times every day.  One is at a standstill for two weeks now and the other was at my local sorting facility yesterday, however today it appears to have been sent to a different sorting facility 2000 miles away!  Damn.  I almost wish I'd never gotten tracking numbers at all.

Could I have raised a red flag (fucked) myself via obsessive tracking?

 
im waiting on a gift from a popular email vendor that was one of 3 the 2 sent 48 hours after nimber1 arrived but didnt show up on the tracking website untill about 44 hours after id signed for em number 1 has dropped off the face of the earth a week ago really cant put ya mind at ease about excessive tn checking as theres no difinitive proof on this but from expierience trackings too stressfull for words really hope it all works out for ya @blackcat77 keep us posted n good luck

Yes. It's possible you could've fucked yourself with OCD tn checks, but more than likely you should be okay. A good rule of thumb is absolutely never check more than once a day (every other day would be even better if you can help it) and NEVER EVEREVER CALL THE SHIPPER (not that you were going to, but, yeah, very bad idea that raises flags rings bells and blows whistles).

Remember, the less attention you call to your package, the more likely it is to arrive. If possible, check the tn when you get it and when/if the shipment is overdue and that is it and that is all and go from there.

Good luck and I hope you receive!

Thanks guys.  Both packages did eventually show up.  I've gotten weird tracking numbers in the past that weren't even real, or did not show up in the american tracking sites, so i was a little too excited to be able to watch their progress.  I was a little over zealous and have learned to ease up on it in the future (I hope!).

Currently, I have one one the way with nothing more than a ship date and its soooo much less stressful on me.  *relaxed sigh* /default_smile.png

One more thing, both of those packages that I psycho-tracked required signatures & they were from vendors that don't normally ask for that.

Confusion.  /default_unsure.png

Hi, this is important info that I had not known until seeing it here. With the recent crackdowns on certain sites and products, its even more important for others to know IMO.

ZZ.... one thing I just want to put out there. Please don't bang the TN's several times a day hoping they "update" it. They will flag the pack if they see an unusual number of hits on a TN and put the pack through higher scrutiny... can leade to a higher likelihood of interdiction of said package, for what it's worth.

When you say country of origins tracking site are you just going to the country searching for their mail service and they offer tracking on their site or their end?  I've been trying to figure out how everyone is tracking them on that end.

  1. P @ psychedpsych: Have good day people, and I hate texting messages lol
  2. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 lol I am actually surprised it is a real ID. I needed those documents because my license had been expired for over a year and I had to start all over. Nothing was in the system. It was a huge mess. I had no clue I was signing up for Real ID. They asked me for the exact same documents that I needed for a State ID Card.
  3. S @ soupson: bless your heart buddy. no sense of grammar or proper insults/jokes. you need this place in ways i can’t comprehend
  4. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Sweet Ol' Me asked about Real ID, Stoup. Are you responsive to emails ? LMAO
  5. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: I smell some Stoup. Is Stoup's on ?
  6. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda You win. I am lost. Thought you were surprised your license was a Real ID, now you say you provided those items.
  7. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda I was under the impression that you'd need all of the points to get a real ID . I'd check it's validity if you're gonna fly domestic any time soon, just to make sure. Not to tell you what to do, sorry -
  8. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 In my state to get a Real ID, I need SS card, Birth Certificate and two proofs of residency. Which I am positive I had to provide to get a new ID when it had been expired.
  9. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  10. B @ bigblueallda: I haven't flown in an airplane in 20 years lol. Can't recall the last government building I have been in either. According to the symbol it tells me I should have on my ID to make it a Real ID I do have one in my state
  11. Gracie5 @ Gracie5: Hey @CuCeltic99!
  12. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  13. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda are you sure you have a Real ID ? I mean , they really want 6 points of proof and 1 for your addy and 1 for your SSN. Did you maybe get it done and forgot and flew out of the country or something ?
  14. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda are you sure you have a Real ID ? I mean , they really want 6 points of proof and 1 for your addy and 1 for your SSN. Did you maybe get it done and forgot and flew out of the country or something ?
  15. S @ soupson: did anyone ask about real id or is sweet ol jimmy just rambling
  16. T @ Turbo259: @drjimmy1964 what did you mean by advertise? not gettin the verbiage, DM works if anything, just didnt understand
  17. B @ bigblueallda: {Visit your local Driver Service Bureau with the necessary documents: original birth certificate, Social Security card, and two proofs of your state's residency. } I definitely provided this when I had to get a new ID when i let mine go expired too long maybe I unknowingly got one but I think it is pretty standard here.
  18. B @ bigblueallda: Well it was a state id renewal. Before that there was a mixup and I had lost my birth certficate and social security number. After a couple of weeks and finally getting several documents in order I was able to get a state ID. It had been expired previously for a little too long and they wanted all kinds of proof. It was a mess. But nah I looked up what to look for an my state's ID to see if it is a Real Id or not and my card as the symbol it is supposed to have. I'll take a closer look though

  20. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Actually it says "Not For Real ID Purposes". That is my 2022 renewal of my 2018 picture ID. I am not due till 2026 and I am sure they will make me go in since my pic would be 8 years old - they used to make you go in in my state for aging when I was younger, then went paper - then back to picture ( I think 9/11 to blame for that ) but relaxed it.
