I shipped a package, memory and a hard drive to be exact, on Monday 2-3 day through USPS. It was going from LA to GA. I was told it would arrive on Wednesday. According to their tracking it did:

Delivered, April 11, 2007, 8:06 am, ATLANTA, GA 30303
Arrival at Unit, April 11, 2007, 8:06 am, ATLANTA, GA 30303
Acceptance, April 09, 2007, 11:55 am, PLAQUEMINE, LA 70764

The package was going to a datacenter, but they say they have not recieved it yet. Anyone ever had this happen before?

Does their mail have to go through a mail room? It may be held up there.

Ya that was my thought too, the reply they gave me yesterday about it was this:

It didn't arrive at the data center yet. They also checked at the front desk of the building and they didn't deliver it there. It's possible that the local post office is just that screwy. Most of our customers ship in via UPS/FedEx/DHL.

unless you used Express Mail, that isn't tracking. you don't get tracking with priority mail/DC

if you need real tracking , use FedEx or UPS or DHL

Ya ya, I mean Delivery confirmation. Well the DELIVERY CONFIRMATION says DELIVERED.

Your best bet is to call the post office for that zip code and get somebody looking into where the package was delivered. Do it sooner rather than later, most times the postman will remember your package and who got it.

That said, USPS delivery confirmation is worthless for trying to prove somebody got something.

delivery confirmation is like a wheel of fish, each time they scan the label, it spins a virtual "wheel of fish" that determines which status is assigned to your package, it has nothing to do with reality

Ya I figured that was just a glitch. It seems the glitch was USPS changeing their definition of Delivered. *sigh* Well hopefully they will get it today.
