Thanks so much Who. Called UPS and of course they tell us that it's the shippers problem and not their problem...*bangs head HARDER on monitor* Seem funny that the tracking number had it to be delivered on the 7th but UPS tries to say it wasn't brought in by the shipper. arrrrrrrrrrgh!

Well, it very well may be the shipper's mistake. Could be the shipper packed the box, put their UPS sticker (and tracking number) on it, and then failed to get it on the UPS truck. This could happen in a variety of ways. If the shipper has a shipping dept with their own UPS labels (where UPS comes and picks up daily), then the box may have gotten misplaced and is still sitting on their dock somewhere. If its up to the shipper to deliver it to a UPS drop off point, then that's where the "wasn't brought in by the shipper" thing may have happened.

Trick is to check the tracking number on line, and see if the package has been scanned in at a UPS facility. If it has, then its in UPS's hands. If it hasn't, then its probably sitting on the shipper's dock somewhere.

Did you try tracking the number HERE to see the supposed status of the package? Usually there will be a "details" link to click to see each place the package has been scanned.

Who, Already checked on that site and it said, "UPS has received shippers billing information electronically. Billing information doesn not indicate shipping pick-up or drop off. Please contact shipper for more details." So contacted the shipper and he sent us,"THIS IS THE STATUS OF YOUR SHIPMENT ACCORDING TO UPS.
1ZE50R310393567702
In Transit
Scheduled Delivery
Jul. 7, 2006
Shipped to: Waverly, Mo. US
Service Type: Ground
Your package is in the UPS system and is on time with a scheduled delivery date of Jul. 7, 2006"
The shipper emailed us this info on Sat. the 6th.
Can you think of anything else I might try? Thanks for all your help.

"UPS has received shippers billing information electronically." More than likely means the shipper has a system on their dock that links directly to UPS. It prints a shipping label complete with tracking number, ship to address, package weight, etc that the shipper puts on the package. When they print the label, it sends the electronic notification to UPS for billing purposes.

The fact that the package has never actually been scanned at a UPS facility likely means the package is indeed still sitting on the shipper's dock. I remember ordering a few items, and I knew one of the items to be rather large. When I saw the tracking info, I remember noticing the box dimensions were way too small for the large item, yet the info said the shipment was shipped in full in one box. It turned out the shipper decided to box the larger item in a second box after printing the single shipping label! So the second (unlabeled) box sat on their dock until I could get it tracked down.

Just cause the shipper's computer thinks the item has left their dock doesn't mean it has. I'm willing to bet my non-existant pay check that your package is sitting on the shipper's dock. Or, they've discovered it, said "what is this doing here?" and restocked the item.

So, it looks like you'll have to contact the shipper, get aggressive, and make them track that thing down from their end. Point out that the package has never been scanned in at a UPS facility, and that the only info UPS has is the electronic billing notification.

And, IIRC, even if it is UPS that lost the package, its usually still be up to the shipper to reship the item and recover the loss from UPS. Responsibility (again, IIRC) from seller to buyer usually rests on the seller until its actually delivered to your address.

i ship all the time with UPS, and what who said is exactly right. until it says "scanned and at a UPS facility. it's exactly where it started. the people who are shipping this package need to go look for it, or send another one.

Thanks for the backup Landi! Its been a while since I've worked in shipping!

Oh, and since it is likely the shipper's error, you might even get them to ship it to you overnight at their cost.

I work at UPS now- packages are scanned at every location as they're sorted through the system. You get an origin scan when a package arrives and a departure scan when a package is loaded to go out. If I sent something out Ground, it would be scanned on arrival, scanned when it was loaded onto the truck (let's just say to Oak Creek, WI). It would be scanned on arrival at Oak Creek, then scanned again after being sorted to it's next truck (departure scan), and so on until it gets where it's going. Your package has never been at UPS yet.

If your shipper is an individual, they may have the home printer labels (you print them at home and attach to the package). That could be where they recieved the shipping info.

Totally different. In other countries the HGs nominate two players for eviction and then the viewers vote to determine who will leave. There is no Head of Household or Power of Veto. Also Big Brother makes the HGs perform various tasks for food etc. They also fine the HGs for rule violations (which lowers the grand prize). There are other differences as well.

I fired an email to the shipper and they emailed right back stating, they'd start a trace of the package through UPS because they SHIPPED it. This is not an individual, but a company in Ca. All my DH wants is to receive his trailer jack! LOL Stay tuned!

tonite north of boston the moon was red as a beet. Did anyone else notice that? I have seen it orange but not red (well maybe more like rasberry tinted). I know it gets reddish during an eclipse, but what causes it when theres not an eclipse and is it rare? couldnt find anything on the net!

Not really a dumb question, but not sure where else to put this. I need some help writing a note on a gift card.

My husband works with a guy whose wife had a double masectomy and few weeks ago and just had to go back in to have all her lymph nodes removed. She is 27. A sweet girl, very religious and has a lot of support around her through her church.

My sister-in-law makes chocolates (and other things...you can visit her at www.gateauetganache.com ) and so we were going to send her some treats. Kind of a pick me up, we know they are fans of chocolate. She doesn't start chemo until August and HRT in the fall.

I'm conflicted on what to say on the card. I don't want to make it too light hearted, but I want to say more than just "our prayers are with you." I was trying to think of something lighthearted about indulgence and chocolate and that kind of thing, but I'm just not witty like all of you are.

Can you help me?

The most wasted of all days is that on which one has not laughed - or eaten chocolate.

May God grant you days filled with laughter, love and chocolate
