Well thats no good. When I first got my tracking number it showed as packaged already delivered in some other state. Wonder if its a UPS or Midway Problem. Probably not a lot that can be done since the package is enrouteThe UPS tracking number they sent me is invalid also, that was 10 days ago. Still waiting.
my son ordered Two weeks ago and received an invalid UPS tracking number. He received a message today that his package was transferred to USPS two days ago.

There is so much nonsense to unpack here I’m not sure where to begin.I seems the UPS innovations packages are being held for 1 to 2 days (likely 2 days from my experiences) either by UPS or the post office while regular USPS mail gets delivered as scheduled.. UPS claims to drop it off at a local post office USPS claims they only get a shipping label and delays tracking information. That is using their web tracking services.
This is a problem when the weekends approach and all other regular USPS mail goes out as scheduled on Friday while the ordered innovations package sits somewhere close to your residence over the weekend. The last time (fairly recent) it was not even delivered on the scheduled delivery date ,which in my opinion should be a worst case prediction, but the day after.
I don't want my mail to be sitting around somewhere an additional 3 to 4 days instead of being delivered.
Whether retailers care or not I am letting people know that someone like me is not going to get used to this and adapt. If I know a seller is using innovations the first thing I am going to do is look for my product somewhere else. If the item is hard to get I may order but as long as this service is the only option someone like me is not going to be a regular customer.
I am not a cheapskate and am willing to pay extra for proper on time shipping but I have a very low tolerance for bureaucratic nonsense.
Mail delivery has evolved quite a lot over the years and delivery times faster than ever. I refuse to allow anyone to con me into believing that moving backwards when it's not necessary is the latest and greatest "innovative" progress.

First you should consider that because of the pandemic, there is currently more online shopping going on now then ever before. All those orders need shipped using the same infrastructure that ups and usps has had in the past to deal with far fewer shipments. So naturally things will run behind schedule.
As for a scheduled delivery date. That’s a best case scenario and I think you should adjust your expectations.
Go ahead and Be stubborn and unwilling to “adapt” to longer shipping times. Boycott midway if it makes you feel better, despite the fact that retailers have absolutely ZERO control over what happens to a package once the carrier has possession of it. I know this as I ship hundreds of packages per week with ups and have to field calls from people like yourself who don’t understand these things.
If shipping times are too long, pay for faster shipping.
This isn’t a conspiracy. Have a good day.
