I shipped 3 packages 2-3 days ago and they still have not been scanned by USPS for updated tracking information. It usually takes a day, at most.I've already contacted Posh. Is there any thing else anyone can suggest? This is such an inconvenience and any help would be appreciated.

It happened to me! I shipped 6 packages and it took until the day they were delivered to be scanned in! Gave me a heart attack! And it hurt my quick shipping stats!! I will take them to counter from now on.

@autumnshops thats how things ended for me. I was extremely happy that they got delivered but the waiting process was so painful. Thankfully, I had patient buyers. Definitely doing things different next time!

Yes , absolutely . I thought maybe it was due to me being in a small town ?

Yes, this happened just last week to me for the first time. The USPS people where I live scanned it and got it going, but then the next scan in my buyers city didn't happen for 4 or 5 days!!! I I sent it out on a Monday!! I was worried and feeling bad for my customer, but thankfully she'll get it soon. I also think it's because of it being the holiday season. Can't imagine just how many packages and letter USPS has to take care of.

@schx4 it's good to hear that Im not alone. I recently moved to Georgia, so I figure things may be a little slower here. Luckily everything worked out. It was eventually scanned on the day that it was going to be delivered but the wait was such a draggg !
kai_drizzy
@aerspamer I agree. The holidays could definitely be a factor. Hopefully things are back to normal soon!

@kai_drizzy Oh I know it can be so frustrating 😞 We were reassigned from GA 3 yrs ago to here in Iowa, this is our last year and will be moving to TX in may 😵 LOL I'm always worried about the shipping , mail etc when moving ..you just don't know the area👎 I'm glad everything worked out eventually for both of us

@kai_drizzy Take them to the P.O. Have the Clerk weigh them out, process them right them. You will get a Scan and a shipping/tracking receipt. Works perfect 100% of the time.

@dburris1030 I agree. Worked 100% of the time for me when I lived in New Jersey. Since moving to Georgia they give me a bit of a hard time about scanning at drop off and providing a receipt. Will try a few different locations to see who's actually willing to do their job. Lol Thanks for the help! ☺

@kai_drizzy First it's their job, Second tell them it's your business and you need a receipts. Be sweet and go back to the same location. After a while they will just love you and all will be good. Sugar instead of vinegar besides that may be your next sale or new Posher

@kai_drizzy hello yes this only happens to me when I leave my packages in a blue box. When I take them to the post office everything runs smoothly! Your now the only one ☺️
stellaraplus
I stand in line and get a receipt immediately from there normally ok w regular updates, daily.
kai_drizzy
@stellaraplus Thanks for reaching out! ☺ Where I lived when I originally started Poshmark, that tactic worked for me. I recently moved to another state and they wont honor my request for a receipt. I tried the home pickup request yesterday and it updated quickly, so maybe I'll make more use of that option! *crosses fingers*

@bree1425 It's a relief to know that I'm not the only one. I was totally freaking out. I found a post office a few miles away that updates quickly and the home pickup option does too so Im super excited! Thanks for reaching out! ☺

@kai_drizzy Yes, just happened to me and @laurasiobhan. It took almost five days for a package to go from northern to southern california. It made me mad and really disapointed my buyer. The last time something like this happened was when i used mailbox ect...
kings_venes
Yes! I shipped a package for a customer on December 22nd, and she did not receive it until the second week in January 2016. I had to call the Post Office, after going through the process all over again explaining when, where and how I mailed the item they finally found the package and delivery it to the customer. In addition to the delay, Poshmark has my records that I mail within 8 days which is not true.

Taking it to the Post Office and have it scan by the clerk in your presence is the correct thing to do. Don' t trust those drop off boxes.
kai_drizzy
@moisylvie Yea it really sucks for the buyer and the seller. Not to mention, it really hurts your 'days to ship' stat. Thankfully I found a post office a few miles away that has no problem giving me an acceptance reciept. My mailman also scans it at the door when I schedule a pick up so things have been pretty good lately. Thanks for sharing and happy poshing! ☺
kai_drizzy
@kings_venes 8 days? Aww man, that hurts. If the tracking info reflects the delay you can screenshot it and upload a post to your closet to give potential buyers an understanding of why it says 8 days. But I definitely agree, no usps blue boxes within the neighborhood. Post office lobby boxes seem to work out really well though.

Yeeesss!!! I don't know what's going on but for the past month, it has been ridiculous.

I just started here on Posh and it has happened every time!!! Wether I ship it in the a.m. or at 4:30. It won't get a scan update until a day or two. Drives me bonkers! I've emailed Posh about it and no respond from them yet. Don't know if it's on their end or USPS. But somethings definitely up!
