SHIPMENT EXCEPTION BARCODE LABEL UNREADABLE AND REPLACED DRIVER
The scanner even tells them where in the truck to place it, so that the driver can more easily locate the package when it reaches its destination. From there, UPS employees scan each package with a small handheld computer and place it on a specific truck. The packages are scanned again, and packages going to a similar area are sent by truck to a regional sorting facility. The aircraft takes the packages to a regional airport hub. Along the way, computers scan the barcode and direct its path so that it eventually ends up in a large canvas bag or container with other packages going to a similar area.įrom there, the packages destined for a similar area are loaded into giant shipping containers that are domed to fit the inside of an aircraft’s hull. For about 15 minutes, each package travels through Worldport. The packages then go into the maze of conveyor belts that is Worldport. Packages in each of these categories are placed on a separate conveyor belt with the label side up, so it can be scanned by computers. Its perimeter is more than 5 miles.Ĭargo is unloaded from the planes and sorted into categories of “smalls” (mostly envelopes), regular 6 sided boxes, and “irregs” (everything else). Its internal space could hold more than eight football fields. (FedEx has a similar hub in Memphis, Tennessee.) Worldport is huge. Packages that will journey by air are delivered (by air or by truck) to Louisville, Kentucky, home of UPS Worldport, a huge package sorting megaplex. If it is more than 200 miles away, the journey will be by air. If the destination is less than 200 miles away, the package will travel by truck. There, UPS workers will scan each package and sort them into groups depending on their destination. Once the package is picked up, it travels by truck to a regional sorting facility. If you drop off your package at a UPS store, the process is similar, though the UPS store employee may help with the packing and data entry. All of the information provided, including destination and the other details, are encoded into a barcode on the lable that is readable by computers. You can then print a label that has some information printed so that humans can read it (such as the destination address). If you are scheduling a pickup, you will have to enter information about the size and weight of your package into a computer, as well as its destination and a few other details. When you hand a package to UPS, it has a label with a barcode on it. For this section, we will use the example of UPS.
To understand why a package might go missing, let’s start by addressing (no pun intended) what happens when a package gets where it’s going with no problems at all. But what really happens when a package is lost? From the consumer’s point of view, it seems that these packages have entered some kind of black hole. The US Postal Service, FedEx, UPS, and other major parcel delivery services pride themselves on accuracy and timeliness. In almost every case, packages get to where they’re going with no problems. Hopefully it shows up tomorrow because a buddy is helping me get the wheels off since I have not tools to do the job.Millions of packages are delivered across town and across the world every day. It arrived in Portland however I just got a notice of "shipment exception" the barcode label is unreadable and they replaced it. Also I looked at the dates they were made and both show 9-17-21 so that is a plus. The that came from the west coast was packed in a box, the second from Cali was shipped with just a packing label and address so that shows better customer service from the first business. On a side note on how both Front tires were shipped. I guess looking on the bright side I won't need a front tire for a while. So long story short I now have two 160/60/18 Pirelli Angel GT's in my garage. Well guess WTF happened! A couple hours after that cancellation I received the shipping confirmation on that one. I put in a cancellation order for the second one and received the confirmation. I received the cancellation confirmation and not more than two hours later I received a notice that it had shipped! WTF I have never seen an order ship in three hours off of Amazon before. So I put in a cancellation order in on the first on and ordered the second right after. About an hour after I ordered it I found one a little cheaper and closer to me on the west coast than the previous one (on the east coast). So I ordered the 160 Angel GT tire for the front last week.
