prdubis Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Hey guys, I've sent a parcel to Phong in AZ, 85254 last week, and the trackin has been updated yesterday to: Undeliverable as addressed and the parcel is being returned to me. Of course, the address is correct, but when checking the tracking, I saw the parcel went to 85257 post office, instead of 85254. And Estimated delivery date is today... Anyone can help me? Is it possible the parcel went to the wrong delivery truck yesterday, and will be delivered in the coming hours or days? Or...? PM me for full tracking details/tracking number. Thanks all!

chronoluvvv Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 if the package went to 85257 instead of 85254 chances are the reader mistook the 7 for 4 some people cross their 7s to avoid looking like 1s but in this case it was overdone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prdubis Posted February 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Hum... The 4 really looks like a 4, not a 7... The parcel left Phoenix at 8am, arrived at the post office at 9 and at 9:27 the parcel was stated as undeliverable... Weird... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris5264 Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 The usps makes those types of mistakes all the time. As long as there is tracking it will eventually show up. My post office lost a package in their own building and it took them almost two weeks to look around and find it. I think they lose something about 1/5 of the time but eventually it shows up.

prdubis Posted February 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Thanks for the answer Chris... Actually I don't know if we must laugh or cry about it! 1/5 is huge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris5264 Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 I sent my UTS off to Germany for repair and the USPS made the same mistake and misread the numbers and sent it to Africa for about two months. But after about three months it ended up in Germany and then eventually back to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prdubis Posted February 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Wow Pretty scary... My parcel is in Phoenix since yesterday night, status hasn't been updated today so I guess it is really being returned to me... Can't believe it was a few miles away from Phong, but returned... I even added Phong phone number on the form... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomhorn Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) You don't want to know the journey my 6263 went on ... Plattsburg, NY - 12/9 Springfield, MA Federal Way, WA (yes, it went all the way to Washington State from the east coast) Kent, WA Tampa, FL Sarasota, FL Clearwater, FL then to me (finally) - 12/16 This was a Priority Mail (2 day) package. USPS is not eactly the most reliable shipper. When you get it back, file a complaint and ask for your shipping money back.

prdubis Posted February 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Parcel was finally delivered to Phong! Thanks guys for your help and your advices... It was containing two Valjoux 72x Daytona and all the parts to build a third one...Was getting pretty anxious... I will be in NYC in ten days for a week and asked Phong to ship the watches back there, to my hotel...What is the best way to have them delivered for sure, as I won't stay there too long?

With that sort of dollar value package, I would definitely ship it FedEx, UPS or USPS overnight. Make sure you touch base with him before you leave and coordinate when the watches are going to be ready. Leave yourself several days leeway so they arrive during the middle of your stay, not at the end!! It would really complicate things if the package arrives in NY at your hotel a day after you check out for home. Any other shipping method is too problematic. Also right now, shipping to the East coast is a problem, because they have been hammered by snow storms and that delays deliveries. Hopefully by the time you get there, the weather will have improved. Another advantage of FedEx and UPS, if it's looking like they aren't going to get to you before you leave, you can contact the carriers and have the delivery address changed. It will cost you more to get them shipped to you, but better than losing three beautiful Daytonas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
