Default USPS

Those of us who have USPS for shipping, will we get ours tommorow? I am in KY and my note got shipped from Memphis so I think I might get mine based on my location but if it doesn't come will it be here Saturday? Or do you think we will have to wait for Tuesday to roll around?

I am a Postal employee and I can tell you that if it was mailed Epress mail it should definitely be there tomorrow. That type mail has the highest priority and the most progress scans of any mail.

That's what I'm worried about, Droidal. I called USPS and they told me that based on my tracking number it is Express and is not "trackable or delivery guaranteed."

She said that Express shipment have tracking numbers that start with two letters or something like that and that mine indicates that they used a third party intermediary like click n ship?

Could these still be Express?

If it's overnight it has to be. Express or Registered mail are the only types of mail overnight. If your tracking it at USPS.com and it doesn't say, there's no way to tell. I'm sure they wouldn't mail it any other way.

I hope you are correct because it doesn't say. I'm hoping that since it's shipping from Memphis and I'm in central KY that it gets here tomorrow.

USPS Express Mail tracking numbers are normally 13 characters long, begin with two letters, and end with "US"

How bout your # ??

---------- Post added at 09:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 PM ----------

Begins with two letters followed by nine numbers and the letters "US" [ Note: "E" is currently the most common first letter ], located in the upper right-hand corner, below the barcode.

My number is 22 digits long with no alpha only numeric, beginning with "91", which matches NOTHING on the express list referenced in the prior post. Sigh.

Mine is last registered as "Processed through USPS Sort Facility, February 16, 2012, 7:18 pm, ZIP Code 38199".
I'm in Orlando FL.
Again, I'm also not sure if it's Priority Mail or Express. On another thread someone said they called Postal service and were told it was Priority, which means it's not late until the 3rd day.

Thanks for the info man. Mine is USPS too. Getting shipped to my store hehe.

There will probably be a line at my store on Sunday to get this Note. Just wish we had more in stock than 15
