Why Bother with Tracking?

There must be some sort of formula used in tracking numbers that I can’t figure out. Maybe the goat syndicate or coaster conglomerate is in charge.

My Loved & Blessed Box was mysterious delayed for days.

My Goodebox tracking number has 2 separate entries showing both going to me. One has a delivery date of 8/8 and the other one has a delivery date of 8/11.

Then my absolute unfavorite. The one where you check the tracking number thinking it will show up tomorrow only to find out that it is in pre-shipment!!!

    Subcriptionista – I know you are reading šŸ™‚ I hope today is a better day. Link has knocked over the beans I picked today, carry them into a box, and is busy tearing them apart. That cat is a handful. I tried to take pictures. He thought it was fun to swat at the camera.

    I am glad you posted this as I have a bit of a problem and am unsure what to do. I recently ordered a subscription box, never got a confirmation or shipping/tracking email and my box showed up with no warning. I am very happy it came and I do really like the subscription but because of the lack of communication I am unsure whether to keep it or cancel it.

      That really depends on the box and the customer service. Is this a common thing for this company or uncommon? How is the response if you email them with a question? How unique is the box?

        Good points.

        I have only received one box so far so I may give it another month and see what happens. I don’t think it is common for this box but to me customer service is just as/equally important as the box. Thank you for the feedback Shana!

      Rachel – Do you want to post the name? I can always edit it out. There are boxes that show up with no warning because they have to pay for their tracking numbers to be sent to them. They will provide the tracking number, but prefer to wait until an x amount of days after shipping. I don’t know about the confirmation. That’s a little strange. I plan to set up an email tomorrow/today for the blog. You can always email me once my email is set up. I’m heading to bed because I am an East Coaster, but think about it and let me know if you want to post it or email me etc.

        Sub Bella, I am on the east coast too and went to bed not long after my question. I would rather email you the information. Just incase my situation is unusual I don’t want to make the company look bad. Thanks!

          Rachel – I’ll set up my email address today and post it here. I have a couple meetings this morning and will do it later in the day šŸ™‚

      That happened to me recently and then I looked in my junk/spam folder and there it was! There have also been a few where I got the tracking email shortly before or even AFTER my box had already arrived, but I don’t mind that actually.

      • August 7, 2015 at 6:36 am

        I hate when that happens. I received the tracking number for the Funko Marvel Collector Corp Ant Man after it arrived. I shouldn’t complained because there is a twitter account dedicated to their delivery problems. https://twitter.com/mccfail People are posting in August that they have not received their June box. I hope my August box arrives without any problems.

    I got my Goodebox today! AND it has something you will LOVE in it! refresh oil – The perfect pick-me-up. A refreshing blend of peppermint, lime and ginger essential oils that ease queasiness and invigorate the senses. A convenient and effective travel companion. 10ml rollerball application.

    I also got au Naturale eyeshadow in mojave, Kahina Body Serum, W3LL PEOPLE bio brightener invisible powder, and LOVEFRESH Deodorant. If I can find the right cord I will send you a picture. Not the best Goodebox for me, but not too bad.

      Sounds great! I can’t wait to see my box. It’s fun comparing boxes in a post šŸ™‚

    I also never got Love + Blessed last month. Just realized that so now they have to send me July and August…. They have such good customer support though. I bought 6 months but used some of them on the back months so they did not get my months left down in their system.

      I still haven’t received my last bare bliss box… Hmmm I smell goat

      • August 6, 2015 at 10:10 pm

        Re Bare Bliss – Did you cancel? I wonder if Sarah received hers.

          Yeah I cancelled. I emailed and cancelled and then was like “dude where’s my box?” and they said they would send it but I haven’t seen it…

    • August 6, 2015 at 10:04 pm

      I hope it works out!

    I have had some trouble with tracking too. I subscribe to Goodebox, Kloverbox, and Petit Vour (I’m taking a break from the Vegan Cuts Beauty Box). I can’t remember which box it is, but one of them is shipped using DHL and then passed off to USPS. I can never get the DHL tracking to work so I just track it with USPS since they will be delivering it anyway. It usually shows that it’s being processed and then all the sudden it will be scheduled to deliver the next day. I think the issue is that the packages aren’t always scanned when they’re supposed to be.

    I still have about 4 purchases on Amazon that I received months ago, but according to the DHL tracking, they’re still on their way! It’s annoying because the purchases are still “open” on Amazon because they don’t know they’ve been delivered.
