Question about tracking numbers - Page 2

Noreen · ‎06-02-2015

Here is my experience. I was trying to find out what happened to a package that QVC tracking said was delivered but was not. USPS would not accept the tracking number as valid, so I asked QVC . They said, well you have to put a 92 in front of it (now, I dont know if that is just my region) so I did and it worked. Every time I want to use the USPS online tracking I just put a 92 in front.

First off, QVC's tracking numbers NEVER work for me even if I copy and paste the numbers in the appropriate carriers website (ups or usps). They only update the day they arrive! Worthless and QVC is the only company I have this issue with. I have NO idea why.

Secondly, I have NO idea what is with the tracking numbers beginning with 7. They never work even though it says it is through USPS they never get updated even if they arrive and USPS always says the number is not recognized (I copy and paste it into USPS). Sometimes they will work through QVC but only half the time.

Bottom line is, I really despise QVC's tracking and tracking numbers. The worst company regarding this ever. I like to track my packages as we live out in the country and there are people that will steal your packages if USPS or UPS drops them off by your gate instead of bringing it to your door.

I always check the tracking directly from the QVC website, and it shows me when it was picked up by UPS, where they took it, then when it arrived at my local P.O. It then shows "out for delivery" on the day it's delivered to my own box.

I've never had a problem doing it this way, and I never go directly to the USPS website since they won't have any tracking until it's put in their hands at the P.O. Also, sometimes UPS decides to deliver it directly to me, and the only way I could know that is through the QVC tracking.

The only time I had a problem figuring it out was when my local P.O. accidentally put it on the wrong mail truck (the postmaster told me that)!

Adding the 92 seems to have worked!

For those interested-- go to the USPS site and add either the number 92 or 94 in front of that number beginning with 7 in your e mail or under your order status. That should show exactly where the item is-- wait 24 hours from when you receive the e mail of it shipping-- if you go to USPS before that it will say 'item not found'!!

Yes, I agree, we shouldn't have to 'fill in the blanks' to locate where our items are!! I also dislike that we no longer have the option of items going by OUR preferred method (unless we want to pay extra for that option).

Honestly, I would rather pay more than $3 to get accurate shipping info. I have a Q order that left Lancaster PA on 4/12. I live an hour away. The last tracking info I have is from 4/14......6 days ago! The package was an hour away in the opposite direction! I have no idea where it is today. So frustrating.

@JustJazzmom oh I had no idea! Thanks for this tip. I will try that next time I get a 7 tracking number. Thanks!

I tried this and the tracking info is still the same. I think its an issue of "you get what you pay for". USPS isn't going to rush a delivery when the minimum fee has been paid.

I guess that's what I must have done. I had the same problem & someone posted how to check the tracking. I thought I had to drop a couple of numbers. I guess I had to add a couple of numbers. That's so stupid & we should not have to do that. It should already be included in the tracking # so it works when you check it.
