What is going on with shipping?

#1 Post by ThinkPad560X » Sat Mar 21, 2026 11:31 am

Ok other than getting damaged items in shipping I got an email for tracking for RAM I bought on ebay. I bought the ram a few months ago on Jan 15, 2026. Corsair DDR5 2x 16GB 32GB set. I just got an email today saying from ebay tracking site:
Sat, Mar 21
11:40am
Arrived at USPS Regional Facility
INDIANAPOLIS IN DISTRIBUTION CENTER, 46219

USPS tracking site:
Your item arrived at our USPS facility in INDIANAPOLIS IN DISTRIBUTION CENTER on March 21, 2026 at 11:40 am. The item is currently in transit to the destination.

So not sure what is going on as I already got the RAM back in Jan. I even checked my ebay purchase history and nothing new. And the seller was a onetime seller, only sold that ram and nothing else.
Not complaining if it free ram especially in todays ram shortage. But find it weird to get more ram shipped to me randomly.

I just checked the shipping again and this is what it is showing.
Am I getting more RAM or is this just USPS messing up?

Sat, Mar 21
11:40am
Arrived at USPS Regional Facility

Mon, Jan 19
5:48am
Shipping Label Created, USPS Awaiting Item

Mon, Jan 19
5:48am
Tracking number provided

I looked on ebay purchases to make sure and it doesn't say delivered and just says tracking available. I already got the ram as I thought they just shipped without tracking. I guess I'll wait and see if I can max my PC at 64GB then.

Very strange. But I work for DHL Express and from my knowledge in shipping networks, what that could be is a "ghost label" or duplicate label. Your label might've been accidentally reprinted by the supplier, or somehow another order was imprinted with your information, maybe because they reused the same order number that you were given- so their system automatically started forwarding you that information, and forwarded your info to USPS to create another tracking label.

Likely just some sort of mistake, or clerical error with the supplier. As long as you're not actually expecting anything and you have received your previous items just fine, I'd ignore it. Believe me, it happens all the time in shipping networks. For how much the logistics industry demands out of technology... they really don't bother with using the latest stuff, or fixing errors unless there's a LOT of money involved.
