UPS Mail Innovations vs. The Pony Express

You decide. My $ is on the horse.

Yup. Is there a way to track the usps progress? My yield reissue was handed off a couple days ago, no update since.

I hear you:

It seems like an old thing that was reposted. I have vinyl waiting to be delivered on Saturday. Hoping that it sticks with that. One listed as shipped. One listed as warehouse.

Good luck! I feel your pain.

Mine left Windsor, CT @ 3pm on 8/30 enroute to Springfield, MA which is 20 miles away and nothing.

My Ft. Lauderdale poster took nearly a month to arrive. UPS had tracking as delivered to the local USPS stop. On the USPS tracking it just listed that a shipping label was made. After about 10 days of that same line I tried calling to file a claim since it kept denying me online. UPS couldn't do anything because it's scanned as delivered. USPS had no record of the actual poster on hand other than a shipping label was made. I was not even able to make a lost item claim because there was no proof of an actual item. It was very frustrating

Mine's been sitting in Bridgeport for 3 days as well (today being the 4th). Projected delivery date of today. I'm guessing that's not gonna happen.
Forrest Gump & Terry Fox could've ran this shit to me by now.

Mine was scheduled for delivery yesterday. It ain't here. Definitely a case of lowered expectations because I wasn't at all surprised when it didn't show.

Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice...

EDIT:

Apparently still scheduled for delivery yesterday. MIA somewhere between Windsor, CT and Greater Boston.

I think the truck from Windsor to Springfield drove into the river.

Seems like the ups delivery date is simply the date they hand it off to usps??? Useless information the the recipient.

wall232

I wish UPS would do the full delivery to your door and not to the post office. Once it gets into the post office hands you never know what will happen.

10c should at least give us an option to choose between regular UPS and Mail Innovations..

I'm not kidding - I had something fly over my house twice before circling back and getting to my address.

Oh I don't doubt it. It's funny cuz it's true! My stuff usually goes to New Jersey then back to Maryland. One time, something went that route, then for whatever reason went to Cincinnati before it came back here.

USPS is still the best delivery system in the world...

UPS on the other hand with their USPS collab seems to be a total clusterfuck...

NSL

There is a long number at the bottom of the UPS tracking page. That number will work for USPS tracking

Also the same number is in your shipping notification email.

As of this morning my package is with USPS in Springfield, MA. So it took almost two full days for it to travel the 20 miles from Windsor, CT.

You just keep on being you, UPS Mail Innovations. You just keep on being you.

I once had a package leave Seattle, go over to Idaho, then down to California, then to Arizona, and then back through Seattle and up to Vancouver, BC. Yup, sounds environmentally friendly to me.

No way! That s insane.

Mine finally left Bridgeport and arrived in Capitol Heights, MD. Maybe I'll have it Saturday but my guess is Tuesday; a full week after it was supposed to be delivered.

10C, PLEASE STOP USING MAIL INNOVATIONS!! THERE IS NOTHING INNOVATIVE ABOUT THIS!!

HesCalledDyer

I'll never understand how I can ship an album across the entire country using Priority Mail with the cost of shipping and materials STILL being less than what 10C charges. And that's consumer level shipping cost. My recipient gets their record in no more than 3 days from the time I drop it off at the post office. Hell, I once shipped a record to Arizona using media mail and it arrived in 4 days!

Must've gotten hung up by the Balrog on the way!

Here's a good laugh for you. I just got an update from 10c. The two albums that I ordered together, on the same day back in May, on the very first day of sale and within a few minutes of being announced are shipped separately. Yield is arriving on Saturday. No Code will be arriving, well, whenever UPS picks it up and updates it.

I ordered them at the exact same time. I'm thinking that two items coming from the exact same warehouse could have been packaged together, saving cost and being a bit more environmental.

That's pretty much everyone that ordered them.

I admit that I didn't realize that they were shipping separate. (Hadn't read the other thread in a while.) It kind of confuses me why they would all ship separately, but then I think most of us have that same thought.
