The message is issued by the system when 12 hours after the last scan no further scan has happened. It’s not like I had to go to the Staples near me and get a stamp to communicate with them, why is it so hard for them to reply at a reasonable time? While understandable, here’s how this message came to be: it’s an automated update. Confusion, bepuzzlement, frustration and all those nasty emotions may arise.
#Usps delivery status update#
At that moment another status update will reflected that, and moments later you’re unwrapping your gift with a big smile on your face.īut with “Delivery status not updated” it’s not like that. Now, and in an ideal world, the postman delivers the item, and does a scan when he either leaves the packages at your door, in your mailbox, or hands it to somebody. But hey, the next day it appears to have arrived at my local post office, and it’s out for delivery. On other deliveries that’s usually how it happens. The first thing that’s weird about this delivery was that the package was sent from Opa Locka (one of the airports around Fort Lauderdale) to Miami, rather than Miami Beach (which is where I live). First of all, here’s a screen grab of the tracking history:
I did some investigating, and there’s a relatively simple explanation for this. To my surprise, said event didn’t happen, and in the evening the status had changed to “Delivery status not updated”. The big day came when the status update read “Out for delivery”, which usually means it’s on my postman’s van, and I can expect the doorbell to ring any moment now. I always find this really interesting, especially when the item travels across the US via all those destinations you didn’t even know existed. He provided a tracking number, which usually works great, and you can keep an eye on where in the world your package is. A few months ago I ordered something from… I can’t actually remember from where, but the sender used USPS (United States Postal Service).
