Your Order Has Shipped

Rant: you get an email stating that your order has shipped, when in reality, it was only the creation of a mailing label that generated the notice. An item should not be considered *shipped* until it has left the facility. Fockers.

Chill dude. It'll be along.

Need more range time.

And sometimes, it's several days after the shipping label has been created before it actually ships.

Nothing new.

Many decades ago I worked for a manufacturer that used fiscal months (4 wks, 4 wks, 5 wks) that all ended on Saturday.

Everything that was on the “outboard” side of a line at the loading dock on Saturday was considered “shipped” even though it wasn’t going to be picked up until Monday or Tuesday.

I always get the "Your package is preparing for shipment" when the label is created. Then I get the "Your package has shipped" email when the label scans out and actually ships. Maybe I am using a different shipping service though...

If you think my post was me in a state of un-chill, you gotta get to know me better than that. LOL

I know that this modus operandi is nothing new, and I have dealt with it for a long time...just hadn't seen a thread on it, so here I am.

I'm thinking it has less to do with the shipping service as opposed to how the company doing the shipping has things set up in their system.

I worked for a mfr'r in Houston that did the same thing.

I often seen that it said shipped, but when I check the tracking it shows that a label has been created. I believe things ship faster in this day and age then they did when you didn't have tracking, but also in this day and age patience takes a backseat to instant gratification.

I can remember when Sears & Roebuck was the only option to buying local. And if you were lucky you would receive your order in a month. Not unusual that it would take a couple of months.

Yep, I'm older than dirt.
