    I used to work at ups. If you have a true UPS tracking number you can put it into the ups website and track it. That should tell you everywhere it has been scanned which should give you an idea of where i is in the country. For instance, if i shipped an orange from florida to my lobster shop in maine the package would probably go to miami, then atlanta, then new york then boston and then finally make it to maine. Something like that anyway. Do you have a true tracking number or is it just an order number through the company?

    Take the tracking system with a grain of salt! I have actually had the delivered item in my hand and the tracking system still showed the package being over 1,000 miles away and not due for two more days. So it's not the most accurate system in the world for real-time tracking.

    USPS 'tracking numbers' are worthless. Ignore it completely.

    USPS only shows that it was received and shipped, but doesn't give tracking updates until it's actually received. However, it should give an expected delivery date if I'm not mistaken.

    USPS system SUXX. They "missent" (their term) half the exhaust for my '81 early this summer and it was lost for 5 weeks. I really appreciate the vendors that use UPS. That being said, I've never had an issue with Chacal's orders and he uses USPS. I think he works at the post office as his day job.
