Ok, so I ordered a package from Xtremez.com (Well, from Amazon) but, it was in Vancouver, WA three days ago and was in Portland, OR two days ago. That's the last entry. there has not been another arrival or departure scan since. I live on the other side of the US. UPS's status is

How can it be on time when it is still in Oregan, and scheduled for delivery on the 7th through the 10th!

The 7th has come and gone. Today it is in Hodgekins, IL, where ever that is?

Someone please clear this up.

well, it's probably not gotten to wherever it's going, so they haven't updated that yet....

I've shipped things out through UPS before, and yes, as you just found out, the tracking updates are slow. Give it a couple more days, check again, then call UPS.

Man nothing beats the USPS though! I mean name another delivery service that can send something from anywhere in the US to anywhere else in the US, door to door, for under $0.40! (mailing to Canada or oerseas is more expensie. To send a letter to my aunt in Italy costs about $2.50, so we give them all the birthday and christmas cards in advance when they visit every summer.

USPS Priority Mail with Tracking is the best! I wish that I could use that with my shippment. I mean, the Viewload Triad is only four pounds!
