jeffg Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Hey guys, I ordered some tobacco, and i had a question...I am located in Canada.

DL15 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 yo i had the same problem the first time i ordered. once it actually says it enters Canada it won't really update anymore from there. After that i just went to Canada Post's website and entered the tracking number and it showed much more updated information. hope that helps man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgcsinc Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Oftentimes they don't update stuff at all. One package managed to get to me from more than 1000 miles away without ever going past the "billing information received" phase (or whatever USPS's equivalent is).

NorthEastSmoker Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I ship 40-50 packages a day (eBay) USPS Priority Mail, and my one and only complaint is there lack of updating with their Priority Tracking system. 99% of the time, the package trackign won't update until it's been DELIVERED.. kind of a PITA, but fast shipping otherwise.

Bruceybruce03 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 USPS's tracking system is fubar. Half the time what they call a tracking number is actually a delivery confirmation number. All priority mail packages pricing comes with this delviery notification. you have to pay extra for an actual tracking number...however half the time that really isnt worth it. Ive had packages with both not show as delivered until well after i received it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CouchKing Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I believe its a way of them showing you how "fast" their shipping is. I guess they want us to think they dont even have time to stop and scan the label before they send it off to it's next destination. Its usually only the case with Priority and Express shipments. Their parcel post usually updates a few days into the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USPS wont show anything but its been accepted at their store by MN until I actually have it. Just follow what MN gave you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
