Title: Express shipping Stopping at Every sort Facility....
Post by: toejammer on April 12, 2012, 03:09 pm
weird.. and concerned.. Every stop of the express package stops at a sort destination and does not leave for at least 24 hrs...

Thoughts??

I know express is for fools and was sent that way before i could even blink...  a package never made it to me from a vendor said he may have screwed up the address. It was posted it that way. No sig required..

Now it says undeliverable as addressed and the seller says he used the address i sent him and resent him to check.. something does not seem right at all here

That does seem very unusual.

Did you check the tracking number through TOR?

What was the resolution on this? Why was it listing undeliverable as addressed?

Does the vendor seem to be a Professor of sorts? If so, I'm going through the exact same thing. Anyway, best of luck. It's always fun to take someone for their word just to find out it's the same shit, different day.

resolution was... I let it go. i dont know here it is or what happened to it. I FE early for the vendor once i saw the tracking. Didn't really want to bother after it was undeliverable. even though the vendor said it was the same address. . Just wont use that vendor again. The things u learn when u FE!

Who was the vendor? Just so others know to avoid or look out for the same situation.

Does sound a bit of an odd one. I suggest you clean house and clean system asap. If it does get delivered to you either smack a big "RETURN TO SENDER" on it or maybe even say to the postman you weren't expecting anything if you are that concerned.

Good luck.

This has happened ONCE in the 950+ successful deliveries we have had and the reason was AusPost had made a mistake with the destination suburb.

We ALWAYS copy & paste the exact address that we receive from the buyer before all details are destroyed from our secure computer setup at Matrix™HQ.

In this case we provided a resolution for the customer even though it was not due to a error of ours. Auspost (they are normally pretty good! We must give them some credit).

Most likely if the mail says "non delivered" would indicate that it would be sent back to the return address which would most likely be a dummy address not connected to the seller (if they had any brains at all!).

Hope it all works out.

Cheers,

Also OP, you most likely probably are but make sure you are viewing the tracking with at least VPN just in case things do go tits up. Forgot to add that in before.

seeing this happened over a month ago i am not too worried at this point. I was when it happened and my crib was spotless very very quickly. It is quite odd though. it was express.. took forever to get here and then no delivery. fishy. very fishy. don't want to trash the vendor either. Just know that that vendor does not work for me. For others seems fine. Me.. not so much.

I currently use HMA but I am changing soon because they are becoming a bit too well known. If you search VPN on here and on Google you should find one easy. :)

Why is Express post/mail stupid by the way? Got 1 order coming with Express post, so kinda curious now  ::)

Because it's scrutinized more closely after it was discovered to be the primary way stuff is shipped. But that's because we want our shit immediately dammit! :) That's why it comes down to how much you trust your vendor to professionally stealth the package.

And how much you trust them to ACTUALLY send it Express when they said they did. That's the magical trick to getting shit where it's supposed to be on time. Sorry if I sound angry.

No doubt, I'm in a pretty similar situation as yourself and the OP right now that's really stressing me out. A vendor that will remain nameless right now told me he'd express ship. After giving me DCN and express shipping to everyone else I learn it was actually sent priority for me. OK, whatever, but it never arrived and I get a Undeliverable as Addressed (UAA) after getting to my regional PO. Problem is, DCN for priority mail sometimes takes up to a day to update and didn't reveal UAA till the day after the supposed delivery attempt.

After verifying with vendor that address and addressee he cut and pasted to label was exactly as it should have been I call my local PO from protected line with pitch changer. My carrier swears up and down there was nothing that he marked UAA. Supervisor who checked with clerks responsible for return mailing UAA swear up and down they never saw such a package but he thinks the only possibility is that it's being returned to sender as we spoke and told me to ask the sender to resend it and he'll comp the postage.

I kind of wigged out and said that's not possible because he split town and asked him to intercept it to reroute back, and he said he'd try but needed the return address, the sooner the better. I'm waiting for a reply from vendor for this info though he seems to only check PM's once a day at most.

Everyone else the vendor serviced from that batch appears to have received so assuming labeling was done properly, and I have no reason to doubt it after being fed back exactly what I provided, wtf could have caused a UAA with local PO seeming totally clueless? I'm ready to throw in the towel for safety but this mystery has me really fucking pissed and stumped since I don't feel comfortable making any further orders to address unless I can figure out whether what happened was accidental or deliberate.

Pinkman.. I hear u....what could cause a non delivery.. I have never in the whole time i have been running a business had this happen EXCEPT with something breaks and spills and the mail in question becomes soiled. they just return to sender as is. Now that i have tried to get some of this type of mail. this "undeliverable as addressed" comes up. never have i known this. I mean hell it makes it to the 99 yard line so it is correct to get it this close and i have had packages that have things crossed off by my mailman and put the correct information in and delivered to my home. So its A very weird question. The last thing i wanna do is start drawing attention to a package. BUT also there is the someone sent an EXPRESS package to somewhere that cant be delivered and no one is looking for it... well that seems even more suspect.. Very weird.

Yeah, that's 9 months old. HMA has gone down the same road as Hushmail. Reels everyone in by convincing they're true believers willing to take a stand for privacy and all that is good and right, yet shits their pants as soon as the evil empire begins breathing down their necks. It's why you can't trust any company based in the commonwealth. As soon as extradition is brought up they'll all drop to their knees and smoke pole to please daddy. The pirate bay guys were willing to go to jail over their stance. But they weren't quite cashing in like the sellouts behind Hushmail and HMA.

No doubt. Well, it was a priority package with DCN in my case, which is why I didn't get the update in time to be able to call PO the day it happened. What I found strange, maybe you can tell me if this is the norm, is that it was scanned into the regional PO but not the local PO before the attempted delivery that resulted in UAA. Tracking revealed it was attempted to the right zip, but of course doesn't list exact address. Is that normal that local PO scan is skipped over? I'm fairly convinced my local PO that's supposed to be responsible for delivery had no idea and had never seen it.
