What You Need to Know About USPS Tracking
Well, the good and the bad. USPS calls it TRACK & CONFIRM, but it is more confirm that track. Some packages don't get scanned until they are delivered and some package never get scanned even when we pay extra for TRACK & CONFIRM. When you attemp to track your shipment here is the type of message you may be presented;

'The U.S. Postal Service was electronically notified by the shipper on December 10, 2009 to expect your package for mailing. This does not indicate receipt by the USPS or the actual mailing date. Delivery status information will be provided if / when available. Information, if available, is updated periodically throughout the day. Please check again later. '

The above is a close as it comes to saying your package was never shipped.
One would think, after accusing the shipper of non shipment some reasonable effort would be make to at least scan the package at some point.

Please be aware this does not mean you package has not been shipped. Several customer have taken the Track & Confirm number to their local postoffice and were told the package was never shipped. Then, the next day the package shows up on thier doorstep. In order for FunWithWind to obtain a Track & Confirm Number we must purchase postage from the US Postoffice even if we purchase electronic postage.

When the postoffice picks up our shipments they do not scan the packages (that would be to much customer service). When our packages are droped off at the local post office they do not scan the package (once again to much customer service). The first time a package MAY BE scanned is at the regional sorting center. We have written several letters to USPS officials (total 58 letters) to date we have never had a response. Presently 2 in 10 packages we ship never get scanned, 20% of our shipment (even after we pay for scan service), yet we continue to pay extra for Track & Confirm service hoping for the best.
