3FVape tracking. Am I doing something wrong?

[DonBaldy]

Or is this tracking they use just garbage? This is my third order from them and each time they send a tracking number that takes you to a third party site and the tracking is "not found in system". I

17track? If so, that's normal. It's what they use. USPS tracking will pick it up and take it from the point where it clears Customs.

I don't dig 17track.net either, for what it's worth. The long wait is real.

I'm not concerned about the long wait. I expect it ordering from China. FWIW the last two orders just showed up at the house. It was never picked up by USPS. Again, not surprised.

That's odd, certainly not my experiences. Everything goes through 17track until it crosses the water, hits SF or LA, and USPS tracking picks it up from there til it gets delivered. Sorry you're having troubles, though. So maybe not so common after all.

No big deal. I've never NOT gotten my orders and I know to be very patient.

Yeah, I've been following my first package from 3fVape - experimental order. The tracking is crap and sorta' parallels the latest of USPS sporadic-reporting.. Indeed, several times it just plain failed to find any data over the last week - and I'd holler in a ticket for a REAL tracking# - magically, those sites would start at least reporting gibberish again.

When it says 'not found in system', it means that the shipper turned it over to the postal service in China. It will lay in a box somewhere for anywhere from 2 days to maybe a week. Then they will find the package and say something like 'dispatched to destination country'. It will then lay in limbo for a few days until it magically appears in the U.S. customs/dispatching hub. Another couple days, and it should be on the way to you. USPS may not be able to properly track it until it actually arrives in the U.S.

Some shipping methods from China may NEVER show up on USPS tracking, leaving 17 track or some service to be the only way to track the package.

YEah, I know.. btdthts.. This "tracking number" 3fVape uses doesn't even look like usps - too few digits, but yeah: it's spmewhere between HK and san-fran is my guess.
