Last week, I ordered 5 things over the internet. 3 have already came in. One from CT, one from MD, and one from GA. All were shipped via various ground services.
The two items I have yet to receive is something I ordered from Newegg (something for little bro), and a digital camera.
My newegg order was processed on 12/28, but it wasnt even packaged and on a truck til 1/3. Im not worried about this one, since this is fairly recent.
My digital camera is what Im worried about. I bought a cam off of ebay from a good ratings ebayer. The transaction went off without a hitch. The package was handed to UPS on 12/28 in Madison, WI. The last update to the tracking history (as of 1:59AM EST, 1/4) was on 12/29, in Hodgkins, IL. The package is to be delivered today, 1/4.
Should I be worried? It's been 3 business days since the last update to the tracking history. Here's the UPS tracking number if anyone wants to see the history of what Im talking about: 1Z 1A6 W26 03 9001 661 1

Sometimes a package skips a scan with UPS, give it a few more days or call UPS to make sure all is good.

I'd only start worrying if you don't get your **** by tomorrow. ALso you have to remember it was the holidays over the weekend. So the maybe have a lot of stuff.

i noticed that sometimes ups will delay the expected date for w/e reason and the scan doesn't show (if at all, like 03silverbullet said if the packaged didn't skip the scanning) until much after the actual scanning date. so like 4mynikka said, i wouldn't worry until it doesn't come tomorrow. if it doesn't, check the site, probably delayed. if not, then i'd call.

I ordered something off Amazon and the shipping seemed to take a little longer than normal as well. Gov holidays are poop.

the ups tracking shows it's out for delivery, so you should get it today.
You guys are complaining about things not being delivered in a week... man, come on.
It took over 3 weeks for Newegg to get an RMA'd motherboard I sent, and then 2 days to turn it around and ship a replacement.. and I'm still waiting to get it.
I shipped some stuff to my gf on Dec 20th, certified mail, and she hasn't got it yet, but I'm not worried unless she doesn't get it by Friday.
Order something from EvoFusion and then you can complain about shipping!
4 months.. still waiting on my Grill! (2 days ago they said it reshipped for the 2nd time from Korea, got damaged first time, got lost second time, hopefully 3rd time is the charm)

HOUSTON, TX, US 01/04/2006 5:05 A.M. OUT FOR DELIVERY
01/04/2006 3:25 A.M. ARRIVAL SCAN
HODGKINS, IL, US 12/29/2005 6:25 P.M. DEPARTURE SCAN
12/29/2005 12:07 A.M. ARRIVAL SCAN If it was shipped by ground, it's spent the last several days on a truck. The truckers probably had New Year's Eve and/or Day off. While it's on a truck, there is no reason for the status to update.

servers have been going down... a lot... our company that runs our shopping cart for our website just took a ****... which means.. no orders... another apache server that holds 200 companies took a ****...so consider yourself lucky with just slow shipping

So maybe I shouldn't get worried about my eBay find I bought on Dec 27th. The description said ship w/in 48 hours of payments which was on the 27th. I think tomorrow seems like the magic day to start bugging...

I wouldn't think much of it. Maybe they were off for the holidays? Or it shipped out on the 29th or 30th, but sat there until Tuesday, so it might have got picked up last night. Is it shipping ground or 2day, 3day, etc? I mean, if you ordered something on the 27th, I wouldn't worry about it until next week at the earliest... Unless you asked for fast shipping.

My order tracking was all screwed up from UPS as well. It was also in Hodgkins, IL for like 4 days before it made it down the street to the Rockdale, IL and out for delivery. I received it as scheduled yesterday. Gotta be the hollidays.

I would only have worried if UPS never received the box. Since it is UPS's hands, you will get it. They never dropped the ball with me.
I don't work for UPS... I would have said the same with FedEx too. ;)
