watching shipment tracking pages

derf · 05-31-2011, 11:53 PM

Am I the only one who truly enjoys checking up on tracking pages. I have something coming my way from LA, dropped at UPS today. Even though I know that it hasnt done anything since the processing scan at the shipping facility I still like checking it. The sad thing is that I will wake up tommorrow and check it again first thing in the morning too.

It's boner when you get a package early.

Depends on the service. UPS and FedEx, yes (got some stuff coming this week from UPS and FedEx yaaaay!), but fuck USPS and their shit awful tracking. I get my packages before they actually update their site. Watching USPS tracking is an exercise in massive frustration.

USPS sucks ass. I ordered a pair of mesh riding pants from New Enough. Well UPS got it from LA to Baltimore MD in 2 days. Took USPS 13 days to get it to my house which is only 2 hrs away from Baltimore. Then had it as delivered which it wasn't, and it showed up the next day After I called. The $15 shipping for a pair of pants that weigh maybe a pound was also bullshit.

I must admit that I do that too

I ordered a sena smh10 a few weeks back, which was shipped via USPS from Long Beach, CA. The company shipped it USPS, gave me a USPS tracking number, which gave me a link to a fed ex tracking number.

The package shipped from Long Beach to Washington state via USPS, then bounced around the US pretty fast, I'm assuming by air, hitting TN, KS, then MD where it showed that USPS took possession again and had it out for delivery.

I dunno i almost wish I could just order a bunch of stuff from every little small town all over just to see what path it takes. Even better would be to ship a spot tracker and follow it real time

Sometimes it's cheaper for me to order from Oneida Suzuki's online store and have it shipped to my door. I live 12 minutes away from their store. It's hilarious to watch the ups shipping route go all the way to Syracuse, over to Rome, then out to me (once an order went all the way to Buffalo but that was a while ago

)

I just check it once so I know what day to expect it.
