Why does my package go to Timbucktoo and back?

Robbi254 · ‎04-13-2015

I used to be able to get things from QVC within one or two days. Yeah, I know, Covid happened and companies started cutting back, etc. But can someone tell me why my package starts out in Ohio (and I live in Ohio, btw) goes from there to New Jersey, from there to PA.,and now its in Michigan. No wonder things take more than a week to arrive. Just doesn't make sense.

I have the same problem. Pkg gets to a certain post office 25 miles from here in Michigan, then back to South Carolina, then Minnesota. And I don't mean just one, it happens frequently.

I totally agree. It's hard to understand how this continues. There's got to be a more efficient, less costly way of shipping.

@Robbi254 I don't know about yours but mine are all delayed by Newgistics, the company that transports between ups and USPS facilities. They make a one day trip from California to Albuquerque take as long as 10 days. They are an in incompetent, disorganized mess and they lie about what they're doing.

I have been a QVC customer from almost their beginning, and have never received anything in one or two days as the OP states.

A couple of years ago, one of my packages from QVC shipped from PA. Made it to the South, I live in GA. Got as far as North or South Carolina, I think. But then too a sling shot all the way to the Northwest, I think Washington or Oregon and then made it's way back to me. I mentioned this to someone at the post office counter, he said that it was odd but I don't think he believed me.

Maybe it wanted to take the scenic route.

Partly because UPS hands the packages off to the USPS, and then it goes badly from there.

Yes, I agree with Kachina 100%! Once it leaves UPS, the company who transports it to the post office can keep it for days, upon days. It sits in a bin somewhere, waiting to be sorted, transported, and then.....finally delivered. I never, ever had issues when UPS used to deliver the packages directly to my house. They would come in 3 to 4 days tops.
