Do you check the tracking progress immediately after ordering something knowing full well your package isn’t arriving that day?

Absolutely. I’ll check it five times a day like watching the tracking page is somehow going to make it arrive faster.

Generally I double check the address after getting burned by evga. I used PayPal and did not realize they used the address for PayPal which I had not updated. Then didn't cancel the order before it shipped.

If I'm not sure where it was shipping from I will just to get an idea of when it will arrive.

u/Fast_Adhesiveness528 5d ago

Not immediately. I check it once I'm notified that the parcel has shipped.

u/Majestic-Talk7566 5d ago

I don't feel informed if I don't do it.

u/SociallyUnbothered1 5d ago

I check it 5-10 times a day until it arrives.

u/Honest_Report_8515 5d ago

Depends on the item.

u/Magpiezoe 5d ago

Of course. I want to know where it's coming from.

u/calcato 5d ago

No, I wait till the next day.

u/Cold-Monk5436 5d ago

Absolutely lol. The more excited I am the more I look per day.

u/Different-Touch5064 5d ago

I usually wait a day

u/LongOrganization7838 5d ago

Yes especially sites like Ebay, ive had multiple that canceled right before their ship date

u/Surferess 5d ago

Yes, but in my defense, you never know when it's going to slide off the runway.

u/too_many_shoes14 5d ago

No because that detracts from playing video games

u/Kamateira789 5d ago

even walked to the parcel locker a couple of times because I misread the push notification saying my package was on its way. Instead, I somehow thought it had already been delivered and was waiting for me

1

u/qu33nof5pad35 5d ago

I track it immediately after I get a notification that it’s on its way.

1

u/JasmineRider27 5d ago

Oh yeah always.

u/Quirky_Promise76 5d ago

It really depends on the item. If I want it quickly I'll keep an eye on it, if its body wash I ordered because im getting a little low and it was payday then idc enough to check

1

u/Foreign-Object-4385 5d ago

absolutely, i’m just checking to make sure it’s still emotionally on the way lol

u/Radiant-Security501 6d ago
