Mixed signals-What's up with this?

Monday, I was contacted by email, as most of us are, and advised that my order was shipped and given a tracking number. Today, three days later, I went to the USPS web-site, punched in the # I had been given only to be told THIS.

Track & Confirm



Current Status


You entered 0115 1649 6470 0133 1347


The U.S. Postal Service was electronically notified by the shipper or shipping partner on July 19, 2004 to expect your package for mailing. Information, if available, is updated every evening. Please check again later


So, which is it? Has my order been shipped or not? Is the track and confirm feature totally useless or has my order NOT been shipped?image

    The USPS site is very bad for tracking--it can take days for something to enter into the system, or even show that it was delivered.

    That said, I'm sure the package was shipped--the services are much less likely to lie than the USPS, which just doesn't update itself.

    The track and confirm feature is totally useless for active tracking on registered mail.

    Agree completely, don't get excited yet. I have had stuff delivered to me and the website still saying what it told you.

    Yep, the tracking is bogus, I've had the same problem in the past.
