As far as I know, there is no tracking number.
But, if by Monday (friend of mine got number and date confused), I don't have it...

USPS is getting a call.

I've been quite patient with them. To let their delivery take 3 times as long as the website says it would.

ouch, shipping with any service without a tracking number is just asking for trouble. I hope they find the package but if its really lost, I wouldn't count on a good samaritan turning a high price piece of electronics in.

I called USPS yesterday.
Was polite.
Asked if I had a tracking number or Shipping label.
I said no.
They told me to find that out and quickly hung up.

I called USPS today.
Was not polite in the least bit.

I got some things done.


I should find out something within 24 hours
If not, I've got this nice little person I can call. They gave me his number.


Isn't it amazing that you have to be loud and rude to get things done with customer service?

For anyone keeping score at home,

I haven't recieved it yet.

I've spent many hours battling USPS customer service, getting nowhere because of a lack of tracking number, shipping label, or insurance. And the fact that I'm not the sender.

And it's been 24 business days. That's four weeks in regular days. Also, four times as long as the shipping calculator said it'd get here.


I'm down $207, and still N800-less.

I bought a jacket online that took 28 business days to arrived, it was shipped from Utah to NY via USPS. Hopefully you will get it...

A PS3 was sent to my house via USPS and it never arrived, good thing that Sony resent it with a tracking number via UPS, I wonder how those packages can get lost if they have an address?

I moved from Vermont to Virginia in 1975. About 1984 I rec'd a Christmas card from my mother, sent in 1975. Post Office had lost it for a few days.

I think that they deal with a very large number of packages and if the shipper does not think that the package is worth tracking, it's loss is not that important.

I have made a policy of NOT buying stuff online if it costs more than a few $$ and will only be shipped USPS, it is too much of a crap shoot.

OTOH, if I buy something from the states, I prefer USPS: it's easier for it to slip under the radar at customs, and even it it doesn't you just pay the import tax and vat, not the exhorbitant fees that fedex/ups want you to pay.
Not that I buy much stuff there (it's difficult to find online shops delivering overseas, and if they do the shipping is via fedex/ups costing more than the item): I bought a roomba, the tablet and maybe another thing.
Never had a problem and never had to pay customs.

I have a horror story for every major delivery service.

But for me, USPS and FedEx have been the best.
