Why does UPS say it is shipping to my town, not my address?

Asked by SergeantQueen (13296points) 2 days ago

I ordered through Amazon.

It is some mail innovations thing I have never heard of.

It says

Ship to:
(town)(zip code)

That is it. They still have my address because of Amazon, would you think?

2nd question
Mail Innovations isn’t a day-definite service. For the latest progress update select “View All Shipping Details”

I have never heard of mail innovations, what does it is not a day definite service mean?

UPS doesn’t have the package yet – - – No delivery date and until Mail Innovations hands the package to a UPS distribution center, it is not a UPS controlled date.

Mail Innovations is a great mover of packages for UPS for the first step. My wife and I get 10 to 20 packages a month and Mail Innovations is the beginning for many packages.

It says it is received just pending acceptance.

UPS has not accepted the package yet . . . next step should have delivery date.

SergeantQueen's avatar

Delivery says tomorrow, I am just confused by not day definite and not showing my full address.

Mail Innovations is shipping to UPS not to you !

SergeantQueen's avatar

Goodness gracious this is beyond confusing
Thanks.

Keeping your address private?

Well, it says out for delivery. I feel a bit dumb I did not consider the privacy thing, but I wonder if previous times I have looked I was logged in or something, so it showed my address. I am not logged in at the moment.

You can create a free account with UPS, USPS, FedEx etc so you can check on items and get a better idea of what’s going on. I find it really helpful. It took me awhile to catch on to the lingo.

I live in a small town. Some things can’t be shipped to my address so I have to ship it to my son 5 blocks away.

To protect you from theft as well as protect your privacy.

^^ That makes no sense – most if not all of the rest of America gets packages delivered to their homes.
