USPS Package in transit

I ordered an iPhone on eBay a few days ago and it arrived to my towns post office yesterday morning. The estimated delivery was today, but that changed yesterday and is now saying tomorrow. I don't understand, because the package is already in my zip code. Is it likely that since my package is in transit that I might get it today? I'm just wondering because I really need a phone before a business trip that was unexpected and i was told about a day after ordering my iPhone. I need it to keep in touch with family and coworkers!

It is not going to happen. I'm 110% sure your mailman has already left for his route for the day HOURS ago.

That means that it's probably out on a ups truck or some delivery truck and that your address is in his route to be delivered. Probably get it sometime today.

It doesn't matter if its already in your zip code. The post office workers are people too and have certain business hours so they can go home at night and be human beings, same as you. If there's a lot of mail that day, they might not have gotten to yours yet to be put in the mail truck and to your house. If there's something going on at the office, there work could be slowed down. If other mail has higher priority, that goes out first. You may need your phone As soon as possible, but you have to at least understand.

No. It would have come with your mail.1 day won't kill you.

We don't know, hon. We just don't know.

I surely get you your package today itself.

  • Will I get my USPS Package today? Ok, so I ordered a iPhone on Black Friday from Amazon, the guy kept saying he was gunna ship it and finally did on the 3. I never heard of any more tracking so I called three days ago and the lady said it was still in Florida and they were gunna do priority 2 day mail. So this morning at 3 am it was in Sacrament, then at 5 it was at the post office the next town over (2 min. Drive) I have a po box at my local post office, do you think I'll get it today?
  • What does Transit mean in USPS? I ordered an iPhone from New York and I live in KY. We paid extra for a 1 day shipping but its not here yet? It says its in transit.
  • USPS lost my package from eBay and the seller refunded me, should I still file a missing package claim? I had ordered the iPhone 7 for my birthday last week and I never received my package. I went through a whole ordeal with USPS (who was no help at all). Eventually the eBay seller was happy to issue me a full refund but I'm wondering if it's worth my time to file a missing package claim.
  • Sent a package with USPS without persons name or return address So I bassicly ****** this one up I sold an iPhone and I shipped it priority 2 day small box the persons address was on it however I failed to put a name or my address incase it needs returned I only have 50$ insurance on it and shipping confirmation do you think it will be okay?
