Mysterious UPS Tracking

Why scan they so many? And its a little slow for UPS-Saver.

Can anyone help me, because UPS said, they dont see a problem, but didnt have any details.

meh. It might be that the sender had an error with the address: it seems to have been looked at in a different port that you thought. It seems to have been checked then forwarded to its correct destination. There it will be scanned again to balance their paperwork,

I have found with a parcel scanned like that there was damage to the package. Not saying this is the case but overall this has happened to my imports. Just annoying for you :ranger:

what is the meaning of "Import-Scan"?

Does anybody know that?

Soz,dennis.

I meant to say that IMPORTSCAN is a software program. Any parcel coming into the USA has a label encoded (barcodes) as well as customs form. Parcel gets scanned after entry....hope that helps

okay i called UPS again.

So its the worst case, they found out my merchandise is recopied. And custom, holds the package, until they know its not recopied.

So I think they will destroy it, will something else happened (seller shipped me 25pcs).

Thanks

Dennis
