Thread: Shipping policy conundrum

So, I am researching sources for my third and final attempt! When deciding on a source there are three things I look at first. They are minimum order amount, payment options and shipping policy. I have come across the following statement two times from two different sources in the last few days.

" Tracking numbers will not be forwarded for safety reasons". WTF?!! Come again?!! Huh?!! Everybody knows that when using USPS PRIORITY MAIL a tracking number is always automatically assigned to each individual package. So, according to the people who made this statement , they will have a tracking number, the post office will have a tracking number but the receiver who just sent a chunk of money to somebody he doesn't know and will never meet doesn't get the tracking number. For his own safety of course. WTF?!!! Come again?!!! Huh?!!!

The whole point of using USPS PRIORITY MAIL is the TRACKING NUMBER!!! It's the only thing that offers a little bit of assurance that a package was actually sent to you!!

If anybody can please explain the above statement in a logical way to me it would be greatly appreciated!!!

2 words. Informed delivery.

The majority of domestic sources do not provide tracking numbers I suspect the real reason they do not provide tracking is because it would be a pain in the ass to email tracking.

Why do you need the number anyway? If it does not show up in 5-7 business days just follow up with the source.

It’s very rare that they offer tracking. Most likely a security reason of some sort for both sides. If it doesn’t show up when the source estimates it will then follow up.

I don't know of any domestics that offer tracking numbers. I have used two sources so far here with no issues. I have ordered from 6 different suppliers so far and have never gotten ripped off. It's hard to blindly send your money but read reviews pic a source and place an order. Sometimes you gotta just take a chance

Dude get over it. Your acting like this cause you never ordered off here. If you rather go to Mexico or Canada and bring this shit back in the trunk of your car.

First, I have ordered from this site. The first order I placed was received three days after payment was made. The second order was placed, money was signed for but never received the order. And yes, I did contact the Rep and he and I conversed several times. He contacted the source and we all went back and forth for a few weeks but still never received the order. And the FIRST thing that the source wanted was the tracking number for the payment which I had already sent him ten minutes after I sent the money. So I sent him it again.

Now my point is that without a tracking number he wouldn't have been able to confirm that the payment was sent and signed for by his man, correct? Same goes for me. How do I know if the package was even shipped without a tracking number. He didn't take my word so why should I take his! I was told several times that the package had been shipped and would be there shortly. When I asked for the tracking number to verify that the order was shipped I was met with silence. The Rep was extremely helpful but to no avail.

As far as safety issues go, since the post office has the tracking number and address how am I protected by not having it. That is what I was asking about in the first place. Me having the number wouldn't make a damn bit of difference to my safety if it came down to a controlled delivery.

Of course they will provide it for cases when things go wrong but 99.9% of the time it goes seamless so no need for tracking. Just wait a few days. If it doesn’t show up they will figure it out. But you are by far in the minority. I’ve had hundreds of things sent and maybe 1 issue. Ever.
And all of this doesn’t matter if you get notifications from the post office. You’re making this way bigger of a deal than it needs to be.

I ordered from a domestic source on ASF a year ago and explained to then i lived in an apartment building. Every order for me included a tracking #. I ordered from a international source 2 months before I was supposed to move. I explained to the rep and was provided a tracking #. Thank God it was delivered on the day I moved .

If you explain your deal they'll work with you . The first sponsor I quit ordering from because they switched to a different oil .
The other sponsor I plan on ordering from again soon .

I also have informed delivery . It sends an email to you every day you get mail showing pictures of the outside of the envelope. You'll know who it's from.
It doesn't inform you on weekly sales ads placed in the mail box
