What does your Express mail tracking say?

ScienceDivison · November 20th, 2009, 05:14

Alright so I am curious if my package actually got there or not.. it states

"Arrival at Unit, November 19, 2009, 11:43 am, WASHINGTON, DC 20008"

I am assuming that "Arrival at Unit" means the Embassy... But not see "Japan Embassy" is... yea..

So what does your express mail tracking state?

Mine says this:

Quote:

Your item arrived at 9:35 AM on November 19, 2009 in WASHINGTON, DC 20074. Information, if available, is updated periodically throughout the day. Please check again later.

I think that means that it's arrived at the sorting place and should be put on a truck to be delivered soon. I only say that because I know that I addressed my application correctly but it arrived in a different zip code. I also just called the phone number and it told me that it arrived at the post office at 9:35AM. The tracking updates are pretty slow but I'm sure it'll get there on time.

^^^ Did it make it to Washington DC next day and if so, from where? I am just getting a bit paranoid about sending it tomorrow (Friday) from Illinois and it not arriving on time. I could send it today but I am debating keeping it just a little longer to proofread my SOP. I am going to send it via express.

rebecca09suzanne · November 20th, 2009, 07:29

I sent it yesterday around 1:30 from central Arkansas and it's in DC today.

patjs · November 20th, 2009, 07:29

If you send it overnight and are willing to fork out it will arrive on time. Don't worry so much!

alsmith · November 20th, 2009, 09:09

i forked out $39 for overnight just to be safe!

New information for mine...

"Your item arrived at the WASHINGTON, DC 20008 processing center at 12:18 PM on November 19, 2009 and is ready for pickup"

Pickup!? uh... Hum?

Hachimaki · November 20th, 2009, 12:15

My tracking states that the item was delivered and it was for signed by someone. So I think the package made it safely.

Chax · November 21st, 2009, 01:34

"Delivered to Receptionist/Front Desk"

I'm going to assume it got there.

Mine says that it was delivered and signed by K.Kame

ExclamationMark · November 21st, 2009, 02:11

I just sent mine today and it is set to arrive on Monday.

ScienceDivison · November 21st, 2009, 02:46

Your item was delivered at 2:21 PM on November 19, 2009 in WASHINGTON, DC 20008 to JET PROGRAM . The item was signed for by K Kame.

YEA!...... Now the waiting begins.

What method of shipping did you use?

cielya · November 21st, 2009, 03:09

Oi, mailed mine today through Fed Ex. Will not stop worrying until it gets there!

RainyOH · November 21st, 2009, 03:13

I'm a little scared to use USPS b/c of issues with packages in the past. FedEx has always been reliable. Bought a comp from Dell and FedEx said it would be delivered at around noon or a little after. It was delivered at 12:03. They probably rarely ever make a mistake.

thewingedwitch · November 21st, 2009, 03:23

Out of curiosity, how much are you guys paying for these various shipping methods? My eyes almost fell out of my head when I went to get a quote from fedex.com, but then again I guess it's my fault for waiting this long, haha.

FedEx. And WingedWitch, mine cost like $43 bucks but I didn't really mind. As long as it gets there by Monday, I'm cool

Edit: Random, but has anyone else noticed the arrow in the FedEx logo? It's one of those cool hidden marketing things!

cielya · November 21st, 2009, 03:58

Well now I'm thoroughly worried. I sent mine so it will arrive by Tuesday, not Monday. I don't have that kind of money ($43 to mail) right now.

It was supposed to go out yesterday but the douche at Office Max screwed up my copies and I didn't have time to go back until last night. Sometimes I hate my work hours. Everything mailing-wise is closed by the time I'm out.
