And when the price is really, truly shockingly low, it's often because the products are skipping several levels of middlemen and going directly from China to customers' doorsteps.

Here's that complete Business Insider article:Ĭonsumers can dodge the supply-chain crisis by buying stuff directly from China - and these 7 logistics companies are fueling the trendīy Emma Cosgrove, Business Insider, December 6, 2021Ĭheap, trendy clothes, $11 prescription glasses, cellphone accessories for a few dollars, all with free shipping: These are the hallmarks of modern e-commerce. I do wish I had more helpful information and apologize again this process did not meet with your expectation. If the parcel cannot be delivered it will be returned to the merchant, kind of like a letter being “returned to sender”. There could be a variety of reasons for that (damage, unreadable or unscannable label, COVID or weather delays, internal re-routing, etc.) but it would make sense that the USPS may tell you they have no record of this parcel if tracking information shows no subsequent scan events after the departure scan. The missing subsequent USPS scan events tells me the parcel has yet to be processed by them. These depart in secured containers, with the USPS verifying upon receipt and additional processing. The last scan (“departure scan”) occurs once the parcel is placed into an outbound shipping container en route to the USPS (at the nearest post office servicing your home), which normally arrives there the next day, sometimes longer if farther away from the hub. I do not see any scan events from the USPS indicating they have not yet processed the parcel. The next step would be the USPS to scan, sort, load, and deliver the parcel. We normally see delivery to local post offices in 2-3 days with home delivery occurring shortly thereafter. The last scan event shown is a "departure" event, telling us it left our ORD hub. Like many transportation companies, we use scan events to indicate location and status. In researching the tracking number, I see it left our facility on August 16th,17th 22nd 24th, 30th,September 1st, 2nd, 5th, 14th. When their operation seems too big they are probably sending packages to distribution centers, which make the whole delivery service slower and more unreliable.Thank you for reaching out. When looking for a courier, try to find out a little bit about their delivery process. This will make the waiting time shorter, and also the probability that your packages are somehow lost, or suffer any kind of damage is almost 0.
You want your packages to be picked up and delivered straight to their destination. That is why you don’t want a courier that needs to take packages to facilities or distribution centers in order to be sorted. All you care about is that your packages get home safe and fast. Let’s face it neither you nor your clients, if you deliver for a business, could care less about the logistics of how packages get from point A to point B. If you received a message saying that your delivery has arrived at a courier facility, that actually means that your package has arrived at the facility of the courier that will make the final leg of the transportation process, or that after the courier picked up your packages they will take them there, and then after they are sorted, they will take them to their final destination. What is a courier facility?Ī courier facility is a specific location where the courier that will deliver your goods brings packages in order to be sorted and then distributed. In the next few lines, we will explain what a courier facility is, and why you should definitely try to avoid them. If you did, you were probably wondering what that means. When making deliveries through a local courier and while tracking the status of your order, you may get a message somehow similar to this: “Arrived at a local courier facility”.
