I need to track a package that is past the 120 day mark, UPS.com just says UPS could not locate the shipment details for this tracking number. Details are only available for shipments made within the last 120 days. Please verify your information. Odd, because I just checked a fedex package from over a year. An unofficial subreddit community for UPS workers, AKA UPSers. This community is in support for relations discussion, operations, workplace conditions, and general discussion regarding UPS life and work. LPT: The first six digits of a UPS tracking number after 1Z = the shipper's account number, if you need to return at shipper's expense. I was shipping (2) different packages to the same place, but accidentally printed out the same label for both packages. These were pre-paid labels… My USPS tracking number says that the package is still in pre-shipment. The last notification I received was on june 8 from UPS stating that the package has arrived at the local post office. I'm assuming due to COVID and the extreme bulk of packages in the mail, everything is delayed. The tracking number that Amazon gave you isn't a real tracking number in that case because the item is a consolidated item. It's the most annoying thing in the world. If it hasn’t been handed off to UPS yet, how could they accurately estimate? 90% of these come down to the shipper printing the label/tracking and not physically shipping the box yet. That allows them to mark it as shipped to hit their metrics, without doing the work of shipping yet. Add a couple days for them to pull and pack and then UPS. Had a similar issue - dropped off an Amazon return at UPS Store, they scanned my QR code & gave me a paper receipt. After more than a week, the UPS tracking status of the package never changed from Awaiting Shipment to UPS. It’s also UPS Ground as well. I really don’t think it takes this long for UPS ground. Amazon says delivery is June 8th-June 10th and today is the 10th of-course but the tracking says otherwise. It doesn’t say anything actually. Is it possible that the package missed every single scan? No right? Also no it wasn’t backordered or anything.
