Opinions of what's up with my USPS order tracking...

[jcp42877]

So I order e-cig stuff from this shop up in Woodstock frequently. Every order I make usually ships the day I order, or the next day, by around 4:30 or so; at least that's what the tracking info says. That its had been "accepted in WOODSTOCK" around that time. I usually get it the next day, never fails.

well, today I get my usual shipping update email around 12:30 saying my order has been made and is shipping, and to check the tracking for updates.

so I go online tonight and look up my order, and I see it gives me this update:

We attempted to deliver your item at 4:29 pm on August 6, 2013 in WOODSTOCK, GA 30188 and a notice was left because an authorized recipient was not available. You may arrange redelivery by visiting http://www.usps.com/redelivery or calling 800-ASK-USPS, or may pick up the item at the Post Office indicated on the notice. If this item is unclaimed after 15 days then it will be returned to the sender. Information, if available, is updated periodically throughout the day. Please check again later.

whats up with that??? The item isn't getting delivered anywhere IN Woodstock...it's getting delivered down here in Stockbridge; and it shouldn't even be getting delivered ANYWHERE today..it just SHIPPED. I re checked my shipping address and everything is right. And all the shop does is print out the shipping label and stick it on the box, so I KNOW it's filled in right.

any reason why it would say this? Glitch in the system??

It's USPS, I'm just shocked you haven't had other problems.

I've found USPS tracking to only be good for delivery confirmation.

I have to say I agree...I've ordered numerous things whose DC never show anything til it gets to my door, THEN all the "steps" of it's journey pop up on the thing

Did you get this notification via email?

Did you get this notification via email?

no, the email was from the Vape store just giving me the order number and confirmation they had processed and shipped it. The notification I posted came straight through USPS's delivery tracking link.

never had ANY package from anywhere say something like that on the day an item shipped. I RECEIVED that once, when someone was mailing me something from New York, and I wasn't there to pick it up. Three days later when it got to my local mail office, the delivery lady left a note in the mailbox, and the online tracking showed pretty much what I posted above shows...but never gotten that update on the day something shipped.

its almost as if someone tried to deliver it to someone's door in Woodstock...and that makes no sense, because whenever the box would've arrived at the post office for sorting to go out tonight, it was already too late for it to be put on a truck for it TO be delivered somewhere in Woodstock, if that's what had happened...
