Carol Stream 60188 Instead Of Glendale

[laniandmathew]

My package was delivered to Carol Stream 60188 instead of eBay’s shipping hub at Glendale Heights 60139….

Does that mean it never got to the shipping hub and was delivered to someone else?

I always get packages from eBay to the international shipping hub but never says delivered to Carol Stream 60188, only 60139 Glendale heights.

Did the tracking for your order stop there? Or is it still active?

I wouldn't pay attention to the actual address/postal code, unless it is marked as "DELIVERED" - meaning it reached its final destination, according to tracking.

USPS does this sometimes, with facilties that receive large amounts of mail. It has often been reported for shipping hubs.

Most of the time it's not a problem. The package should show up as received at the shipping hub within a few days, usually.

I generally don’t bother checking the tracking for my stuff until shortly before it’s due to arrive.

Checking on where my item is or isn’t doesn’t make any difference to when it arrives, the condition it arrives in, or the journey it takes, and for eBay, at least, there’s nothing I can do about it until the delivery window anyway.

I think we buyers have been oversold on the value of tracking. It gives us the illusion of control over shipments, not actual control.

Look at a map.

Carol Stream is les than 10 minutes east of Glendale Heights and is just another one of the plants used by eIS.

Don't watch tracking.

It won't speed things up and will only make you anxious.

If you are the buyer mark the last day for delivery on your calendar and don't think about it until that date passes.

You are covered by eBay's Money Back Guarantee.

If you are a seller the only time to think about delivery is when the customer complains.

Don't watch tracking.

Look at a  map.

Carol Stream and Glendale are both suburbs of Chicago, about 10 minutes apart.

Use Google Street View to look farther.

Both are industrial parks.

Carol Stream is just a different plant. 

And "delivered to an individual" means that a human being signed for it (and a few hundred other packages at thesame time) rather than being left on a random doorstep.

ProTip - Never watch tracking.

Just mark the last estimated date for delivery on your calendar and it will arrive by then or more likely sooner.

If it doesn't open a Not Received (INR) claim with eBay's Money Back Guarantee.
