USPS Package Question
« on: March 06, 2018, 08:32:49 PM »
Scheduled for USPS to pickup a package this past Friday, and got an email on Saturday that it was successfully picked up.
But, tracking number still has not updated once, and this was a 1 day Priority Mail package. Contacted the buyer and he still hasn't received it + I can't even locate the package.
Is the package lost, will it come back to me, etc? The only thing I think it may be is that when I printed the label my machine was low on ink and the label came out a bit faded. Maybe they couldn't scan the label.
Dealing with USPS is the most aggravating thing. What are my options now?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you're shipping from NYC there is a 50% chance  there will be no tracking update for days or until delivered, just the norm...

Anyone having issues with package pickup in Lakewood my shipments get picked up at my home and they are not getting scanned for close to a week and when they finally get scanned it says package received Lakewood NJ - what is going on they hold on to packages for days before they send them out?? Scan forms help somewhat but many packages still saying awaiting...

Welcome to the USPS.
 Shipped a 3day Priority mail package, placed it in the box in the usps store, and haven't heard back from them only 3 days later when it came time to have it delivered.
 That's one thing with the usps you'll never understand.
I would spend the extra few dollars when shipping with usps and take out insurance if it's something of value.

I took out insurance and then they tried to cover up one of their own employees having stolen the contents of the package. Thank goodness I have a freind in the Postal Inspection Service who had them investigate and find the guy. They finally paid.
