Informed Delivery is a good thing and also provides with some laughs. The packages always seem to arrive but the routes they sometimes take . . I cannot figure it out. Here’s one I was looking at this morning.
It left Tulsa on February 16. I’m note quite 2 hours east of Tulsa. It departed New Albany, OK that same morning and departed Hebron, KY that evening. That’s quite a trek in 24 hours. Two days later it departed from Dallas, TX, which is about about 6 hours southwest of me. Oops . . kinda overshot the destination. One day later, this morning, it departed Tulsa.
I wonder if it’s coming to a mail box near me any time soon! 🙂

The funny thing is that often it’s traveling by truck on I-44 and that’s not even 10 miles from our house . . just heading one direction, then heading back the other direction. Like I’ve said before, I don’t want their job and I don’t even see how they do as well as they do but it’s crazy watching the trip some of those packages take.

I think you may be in the top 10 worst mail districts in the country!

The people at the post office are nice and I know a lot of this isn’t their fault. But, once it gets to the post office, there’s the problem of getting it to the right house on the right street! We have to watch Informed Delivery and see what’s supposed to be delivered, then check it off against what got delivered and too often, make a call to the post office and they can see where the package got delivered and, so far, everything has gotten to us eventually. It used to make me frustrated. Now, I laugh about it but you can bet if I had anything valuable or difficult to replace, I would be asking for Fed Ex or UPS. I know some people have problems with those two but we’ve had good luck with them . . so far!

I’ve had a package go back and forth between two destinations for a week. It turned out the bar code on the package printed wrong somehow. Finally, a real person printed a new label and the package was delivered.

Hello! Here’s my current package story.
I ordered a few items from Amazon Thursday, late afternoon. They offered to have it delivered late that night. I thought that was silly to have someone go through hassle of quick delivery. Plus Amazon offered $3 off future orders if I could wait a day. Sure no problem.
Then I started getting notices late Friday, package coming Sunday, then package coming Monday, then today I get told it’s being delivered by UPS on Thursday!!!
Looked at the UPS tracking and it’s in Illinois?? I’m in Kansas City, it WAS in KC as well four days ago, why is it now in Illinois???
Gotta wonder!!!

That’s crazy! My packages mostly go through KC and there must be a dozen distribution centers there because it will go to one in KC, MO, then it will go to one in KC, KS, then back to KC, MO. I hope your package eventually arrives.

It’s crazy that it starts in Tulsa, visits several sites in the midwest, and then goes back to Tulsa. It’s like a game of hot potato!

It got worse. It went from Springfield to Joplin and still didn’t arrive today as I had hoped.
