I do mostly the same as @eadu4 & @Jeanne from VA
1. I click on the order OR on the email with the order.
2. I "copy" the UPS tracking number and "paste" it into the UPS TRACKING site.
*After it's "shipped" it may take 1-2 days to actually leave the warehouse & show up in UPS Tracking info
3. If I think it's going to get transferred to USPS, I click on Details on the UPS TRACKING site. *This is where I find the USPS Tracking number.
4. I use the USPS tracking number that I got from the UPS Tracking - Details tab - and enter it into the USPS TRACKING site. I then get info from USPS
*To get USPS tracking info, the package has to be handed off by UPS to USPS.
5. Following those steps, I get tracking info from UPS & USPS. Sometimes I get an "Exception" from UPS, & most of the time it tells me that UPS will deliver the package(s) and not USPS. - this normally happens if the package is too large or if there is more than 1 package.
