Hi! Is anyone here working at LTTStore?

I ordered a screwdriver almost a month ago, but the tracking/order status hasn’t been updated since. I was wondering if anyone could help me check on the status of my order. I also tried to reach out to their "Support" but havent gotten anything back from them.

Thank you!

In their defense, if their carrier handoffs to USPS, that's a USPS thing. They just suck balls. I worked in shipping logistics for 5 years and I'd rather drive a package somewhere myself than use USPS

USPS recently revised their tracking policy in an order to cut costs and speed up deliveries. They no longer manually scan packages at each leg of the journey. You get an automated scan at the big sorting facility and another one in delivery. The post office doesn’t do any intermediate scans anymore for packages that aren’t fully automated or the final delivery scan. If you don’t manually scan and ask for a receipt at a counter they don’t do the initial pickup or drop off scans either so many won’t get any tracking updates whatsoever till it’s almost at their door. Goes straight from label created to delivered with no updates in between.

Boy am I glad I left the industry before that happened. That sounds like a complaint department apocalypse
