Prolly won't come tommorow. =( That is the first step of shipping. What method did you use?

 

[noxipoo]

it means that the sender is waiting for UPS to pick it up or its in transit. usually its not close.

 

[sohcrates]

that usually means UPS now knows your package exists and may or may not have picked it up...definitely not by tomorrow unless you paid for next day shipping.

the seller claimed it was sent on monday

Sometimes UPS doesn't update the tracking info. If the # shows up as being sent on Monday it should arrive as scheduled.

 

[noxipoo]

sometimes UPS never pick up the package. but yeah they don't update it sometimes. but its not comming tomorrow because they always update it once it arrives at the station in your city. then it takes about a day to get to you

As a former shipping clerk in a small wholesale business, I believe that means it was picked up from the vendor, who has an open account with UPS.
