Issue with UPS shipment

[asdftt123]

Hey guys, last week I ordered a computer from an individual on another forum. He told me he had shipped the package out via UPS at a UPS Store on Saturday and provided me with the tracking number. But still, even now, the tracking still reads:

"UPS could not locate the shipment details for your request. Please verify your information and try again later."

Has anyone ever encountered an issue with UPS like this before? I was under the impression that as soon as someone is billed at a UPS store then the tracking should at least say "BILLING INFORMATION RECEIVED". Could he be possibly lying to me? I asked him to scan or photograph a copy of his receipt so we could go from there. Anyone else experience something like this from UPS before? Thanks for your help...this is a pretty large purchase for me.

The seller could have easily typed a number from the tracking number wrong. I would get pics or get him to verify what he typed.

UPS does not pick up on Saturday as far as I know, so it will probably be on Today's batch. Initial information is not provided until the location closes out the day and runs their end of day in the UPS software at which time the information is uploaded to UPS and your status will change to "Billing Info Received"

AMDMaddness, yup, the sellers says he's checked and rechecked the number twice and it matches the receipt.

TwiceOver, from what you're saying, should I expect the package to be in the system by the end of today?

I really appreciate your help, guys.

heh i wouldn't worry about anything yet. it has not even been 1 full business day since you received the tracking # and as stated above, it could easily just not be in the system yet.
