Can Someone Explain This Tracking To Me?
I've never seen anything like it before. It said on the listing that the seller was in the U.S., one state over from me in fact, and it is a 3 oz strap for a CPAP machine, free shipping. Smart package between USPS and UPS?

·1 year agoDon't try to apply logic. USPS has it's own mixed up convoluted way of shipping. Always trying to find the cheapest way to get a package to you. Maybe it's being shipped via a private contracted driver, like Amazon Flex.

OP1 year agoTurns out, they lied about the product location on the listing and it shipped from China. Thanks for your response tho.

OP2 years agoWell, I received the item, late of course, and left neutral feedback saying something like, "item as described, good price, but arrived late. This item ships from China, not New Jersey, so buyers be aware that the shipping time is not accurate." The feedback is now gone. Oh well.

OP2 years agoLooks like I'll get it tomorrow. Thank you everyone!

·2 years agoIt looks like it'll be another 12 days before you get it, well past the 16th.
So if you'd like, on this or inadvertently next time it happens, you can start a Doesn't match the listing return request.
The seller may simply refund rather than pay to return to China, but at least you'll start to stop them doing this to everyone.

The OP's package started with UPS and ends with USPS.

·2 years agoI Think you are just making that up.
I recommend you add the tracking from their picture into USPS website to see my information is correct.

·2 years agoAround two years ago, eBay used to partner ship with FedEx.. Avoid this, even though it's cheaper. It takes longer to get to your customer, which is never a positive experience for them.

·2 years agoThis Isn't FedEx Smart Post or UPS SurePost both are services that hand over to the USPS for last mile delivery.
It's worse as it's China to USPS.

OP2 years agoUgh..... another seller pretending to be in the U.S. I should have waited to see what the additional tracking said. I HATE the pretenders on here.
Thank you!!

·2 years agoI do, too. They cause problems that give honest sellers a bad name. Hopefully the tips about checking shipping, delivery estimates, too-low prices, and feedback can help you avoid sellers like that next time. Hope the item works out for you, at least.

·2 years agoThat is slowpost or hybrid shipping. First one shipper gets the package and takes it part of the way, then it's handed over to the next shipper who delivers it. It's very similar to a lateral in football. It gets there but uses more of the clock.

·2 years agoYes, that's what it looks like to me.

OP2 years agoIt's very confusing. It says that the label was created in Springfield Gardens, New York. The listing said the item was in Dayton, NJ. Could be a dropship, but what a cheap item to do that and a smart package. Oh well. Thanks!

·2 years agoWhat is the last estimated delivery date @gloryglorygifts when you paid, thinking it'd ship from one state over?
Wondering if that date could have hinted, that it was actually shipping from mainland China.

·2 years agoIf purchased today the listing shows est delivery April 20-25 to Dayton NJ with USPS Media Mail and the seller's ID makes it clear this is an import. The seller has a lot of neg FB saying items ship from China despite being advertised as shipping from the US.
Those dirt cheap free ship items frequently come from China @gloryglorygifts .
gloryglorygifts
OP2 years agoThe 13th to the 16th I believe, which would have made sense coming from NJ to NYC after a purchase on the 9th.. I didn't look at the profile location, I looked at the item one.

·1 year agoIt's actually an Ebay policy violation to misrepresent the location of the item the seller is selling. If they say they are in New Jersey on the listing page but they're actually in China or India they should be reported for that

·1 year agoGlorygifts: Right. It' seems drop shipped, but routing it to the customer is convoluted.
