So I ordered a TILI box on 3/13 as a surprise gift for my daughter. When I last checked it had been shipped on 3/15 from S. Carolina and arrived in ILL on 3/16 Great !  so I expected it to be delivered here in St. Louis by tomorrow 3/18 (5 days) Great again !  This morning I checked the shipping status and it had arrived here in St. Louis on 3/17 and was being processed at a UPS facility so I figured it would definitely be delivered to my home by 3/18. But wait ! later there was another UPS note that said sorry it had been sorted incorrectly and was sent on to Minneapolis MN !!  What ?? I guess I shouldn't be surprised.  Very dissappointing so if anyone in Minneapolis should run across my package, please send it on to St. Louis, Thanks !

I ordered a dvd from a place in Chicago. It got to Amarillo and I thought whoopee it will be here by tomorrow or next day at very most.

Nope, they sent it back to chicago !!

These people are missing a brain cell.

@Goodie2shoes    lol, You must be a novice customer.  This sort of thing happens all the time.  Sometimes packages tour an entire quadrant of the US.  It all courtesy of a company called Newgistics, a contractor for the USPS.... but that's a whole other thread.

lucky you @Goodie2shoes ... my TSV Kim Gravel went clear across the country and delivered to someone in Arizona.  

I ordered the pink quartz maxi and waited for it to move for several days from "waiting to be accepted by UPS" to then go to USPS.  
No such status ever happened. Instead the not moved package was SUDDENLY shown as delivered to AZ.  I live in Philly.  

All I got back was my flex pay!  I'm a 30+ yr shopper with Q....and now I'm disgusted and finished.  Anything these hucksters yell-sell on here, I can get cheaper in retail with far less anger and frustration.

Not a QVC item, but I had a package ship via USPS from California...it came all the way across the country in 3-4 days. Then it bounced around Atlanta for a week!!!!! 

It finally made it to my local PO and was scanned as Out for Delivery...checked the mail that day, no package. I did get it the following day, nearly 3 weeks after it shipped.

Shipping via any method is a crapshoot these days!

Since UPS got a new CEO they've really gone DOWN THE TUBES (she took over 6/1/20)....Nothing but problems and lies😖.....So now between USPS, UPS, and Fed Ex we have NO RELIABLE shipping/delivery companies.....I guess Amazon has cornered the market on getting merchandise to customers, maybe they should take over the whole kit and kaboodle 🤔

Any wonder there seems to be a grow resurgence in shopping locally IN STORE----Heres an article by Lightning News----by David Hakimi--

Last updated on March 2, 2023 2:57 pm

Business and economics analysts predict a strong revival of brick-and-mortar retail in 2023 and there are a few reasons why:

First, brick-and-mortar stores still offer convenience that online shops don’t match: Customers don’t have to wait for deliveries or worry about returns, for instance. Plus, traditional stores provide an in-person experience that people crave, like trying on clothes or testing products before buying them.

Retailers are responding to the changing landscape by getting creative with their offline offerings, such as events, musical performances, pop-up stores and interactive displays—anything that gives shoppers a unique experience they can’t get online.

The key to success in the retail comeback is understanding the target market and providing something valuable that can’t be found online.

@Spurt   Not!  One of my Amazon packages was delivered to someone in Hawaii.

The lying and tracking is done by Newgistics to cover their own incompetence.  We had a thread a few days ago started by @On It which was most enlightening.  Seems as though the Postmaster General, Louis DeJoy, has a financial interest in Newgistics.  For an eye-opener, check him out on Wikipedia.

Yep your right, there's Newgistics, in Texas its called MAIL INNOVATIONS when UPS hands off to USPS for delivery, or its solely a USPS situation, but not everything goes through Newgistics/Mail Innovations..

Problems even happen when UPS or Fed Ex handle the entire operation of shipping/delivery from the start to finish.....Our Condo Mail Center says they lie so it looks like the packages are arriving quickly and on time----it takes another few days before the Mail Center actually receives the package....These packages arrive in a UPS TRUCK
