ebay tracking can run behind USPS tracking
ebay tracking can run behind USPS tracking
I've wondered whether those seecond-level package tracking webpages are accurate, and so far they had been, but this morning, in the case of ebay, theirs was running behind. Ebay's last report was that yesterday at 3:36pm it was PROCESSED THROUGH USPS FACILITY at the main post office downtown. But USPS tracking had different, clearer text for that status report, and two additinoal reports: May 13, 2021, 9:34 am Out for Delivery, Expected Delivery by 8:00pm my local post office Your item is out for delivery on May 13, 2021 at 9:34 am May 13, 2021, 9:23 am Arrived at Post Office, my local post office May 12, 2021, 3:36 pm Departed USPS Regional Destination Facility I used to wonder with ebay, amazon, and others if I were wasting my time copying the tracking number, going to google, using two steps to show tracking straight from the post office, but in this case, eBay left the questions where is it and when is it coming, but USPS answered those. |

I get the same better result with my post office system in my country, much better than ebay. And I don't even have to do anything, the post office app notifys me directly when they see the parcel. Usually anyway. Just got one that wasn't from ebay, direct from the retailer which didn't see any notification from the post office, had the post office delivery person not even bother to knock on the door or drop the parcel off, or leave a card when they didn't deliver and returned the parcel to the depot. I only worked out there was a problem when the parcel had not been delivered for much longer than it should have been, was about to ring the supplier to see what had happened and to check that it had been shipped, they never said it had been. I noticed a tracking number on the emailed invoice and clicked on that and found out about the failure to deliver that way. |

USPS tracking overall is fairly poor, it's nowhere near that of FedEx or UPS. It works accurately, like you'd expect, maybe 90% of the time. I regularly see small first class packages that I put in the mailbox at the post office show no tracking until well along, in route. Nothing showing that it was scanned at the post office, nor maybe the next stop, etc. Other times it will show start to finithsh. I recently had two that showed no tracking other than that I printed the label until they got to the destination. One went from NJ to WA, the other to Italy. USPS has a phone app that's pretty good. You can enter a tracking number in it and elect to get text updates on status, changed status, eg delivered, change in expected delivery date, or everything. Now when I buy something, many times I get a text from USPS showing that it's shipped, expected delivery date, etc. IDK if that's because of the app or because I signed up for delivery notification, but it's a nice thing. Last week it took 8 days for a small first class envelope type package to get from VA to NJ. Previously from same place it came in two to three days. |
