do you obsessively track your packages from the time you get the tracking # until they're in your hands?

And I thought I was the only one! But yes I check the tracking ALOT whenever I have a package en route.

I always find it interesting to know how far the package has to travel to get to me and the route it takes. It's not just you.

Yes, I do. It's exciting to have mail I want :)

Tell me I'm not the only one to have my face light up like a child when I get a package holding a DVD or something. It's a great feeling :D

Guilty.;) Considering I've never been without internet package tracking, I don't understand how some of you guys survived before the internet came around.:eek:

Who me?? I never track my packages. This thread doesn't even exist for me. I've never seen nor posted in this thread.

Link :)
 

I leave a MS IE window open with the tracking info - and I hit refresh whenever I come back from being away (or every fifteen minutes, whichever comes first). :eek:

It's such a neat system!

Depends on what's coming. If it's just something normal I don't worry about it much, but when my laptop was coming, I hit the UPS site like 6 times a day, and then slept on the stairs to make sure I didn't miss the guy knocking on the front door! (Work nights, sleep days)

Oh yeah,

Almost an addiction waiting for a line update from point to point until signed for!!

The shipping department is often surprised that I show up shortly after they've signed for the packages :D
