Hey guys, i dropped off a bunch of packages yesterday at a post office, printing label through ebay, small flat rate box..I have done this dozens and dozens of times and never seen this..
I dropped it off INSIDE like i always do.. and they all say Delivered! but its just on the post office city and zipcode.. no where near my customers or anything..
i thought it first went back to my Stealth address but the zip code is wrong.. i think its the Post offices zipcode.. any1 else seen this?

Give it a couple days to straighten out. I had a couple do this in the past. I checked it every day and then one day showed normal scans all the way to the real delivery location. Completely different info from the day before. If you dont see something in a couple day I would go to the PO but it should be fine.

Yeah , not a worry. It was probably somthing stupid like a truck that had to detour due to storms or weather. It happens all the time. They just reroute it the next day.

USPS runs no more efficiently than PP and EB. You should know this already. Completely half a*sed procedures that never make any sense or operate accordingly.

I'll take USPS procedures over Ebay and Paypal any day. At least they try to help you.

I guess you don't ship nearly the same amount of packages that I do or other large sellers.

Yea good news they finnaly called me back today and said some idiot marked it as shipped smh.. worst thing it said it was delivered in some crazy a$$ zipcode smh.. but SOME of my customers got it already.. still waiting on one more to update..

Craziest thing about USPS is that they be scanning the same thing like 3 times for no reason lol

yeah, the USPS is horrible about scanning accuracy and consistency. They are light-years behind UPS and FEDEX when it comes to tracking packages to exact location at any time.

In my situation the USPS cant be beat price wise though. Atleast from what I package and ship.
