How do you know it shipped the same day? If your tracking info says "shipped", all it means is that the order was turned over to the vendor's shipping department. Considering the time of year, it might have been at least 2 days before it was actually turned over to USPS. It should have been scanned then, but anything can happen that prevents a scan for any given parcel… Especially at the end of December.

Let's assume it simply missed a scan and was put on a truck. Nothing is scanned (and therefore nothing can be tracked) while it is in transit.

You say you're 15 hours away from the point of departure. But that really means nothing if there's snow on the ground or delays at airports.

Relax. Your package will be updated and you will receive it. It hasn't been lost. Lt's caught in the middle of the Xmas and end-of-season rush! Radical thought. Forget the Post Office.

Call the merchant you bought the phone from. Where from and where to. This is important because phones can't be mailed internationally. What EXACTLY does tracking say? The estimated delivery is Dec 30 - Jan 4th.
If you haven't received if by January 5th, contact USPS to see what is going on. You have NO reason to worry until January 5.

  • What Does it mean when it says depart USPS sort facility? My iphone had to be ordered and I have been tracking it. And it gave me " Depart USPS Sort facility" Dow that mean I Should be getting it today or No?
  • USPS shipping issue? (ebay)? So i'm selling an iphone 4 in its original box on ebay. I listed the item that it would ship in a small priority package box. So i was under the impression that it would fit perfectly seeing the measurements were ok. I ran to the usps store to get the package box but it didn't fit. So what do you think i could do? Revise the listing to what shipping method or… Make the iphone box fit irregularly in the small package box?
  • 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.
  • Should i ship via, ups or usps? I sold an iPhone on eBay for 240 dollars. I will be shipping it tomorrow. He paid 15 usd for shipping but i have heard bad things about shipping via USPS. Should i ship it via ups and pay about 23 dollars?
