Re: Shipping Label Created Meaning?
Things DO get delayed at this time of year, it is true. But it is also true that - depending upon your local post office - sometimes items only get scanned when they arrive at the regional sorting center. In fact, I have seen packages make it all the way across the country without EVER hitting a scan point, until the packages were delivered.
I live where there is a small 1 person post office. Often, my packages don't get scanned when I drop them off, they only get into the system at the sorting center. So, I get the occasional impatient buyer demanding to know when I am going to ship their package. I explain it the way I did above, and tell them their package will be there in a couple of days. It usually happens.
For all the complaining people do about the post office, they RARELY lose packages. And, for the most part, they are usually on time with their deliveries.
