My lost marker.

I ordered a marker a couple days ago off of Specialopspaintball.com, which uses UPS to ship. I checked the tracking information in my account on SO, and it just told me that it shipped together, and gave me a link to the UPS tracking information page. I checked that page, and it hasn't changed for a couple days. All it says is:

Package Progress Location Date Local Time Description SALT LAKE CITY, UT,  US 06/21/2007 10:40 P.M. DEPARTURE SCAN 06/21/2007 6:31 P.M. ORIGIN SCAN

I might be jumping the gun, but I want to make sure that this is normal for a package to not get checked at any UPS warehouses for three days. It seems odd to me that ground shipping, from Utah to New Jersey, and there are no stops/scans along the way. Man I hope it's not lost in the mail.

Has anyone had this happen to them? 

(wow, I sound like I'm having a nervous meltdown)

never said you couldn't.

That's a bit rediculous. still I don't seem to have gotten into any trouble so far.

Just to go back to the original topic...

Usually it won't scan again until it hits your local distribution point. Rarely do I have a package actually scan at a seperate dist point mid-way from the left coast (I'm in VA).

Given it's Ground, and it's only been 3 days to include the weekend, you're not gonna see much progress or info.

You should see an estimated time of arrival at least... maybe it'll show Mon/Tues.
Otherwise... I'd give it til the end of the week before you start panicking.    The fact that you have a tracking number that actually does show it shipped means it's FAR from being "lost".

If you don't receive it late this week, then I'd guess you'll see it the first week of July. If after the first week of July, you still have no package... then I'd consider it MIA. Not until then.

Well, monday or tuesday does sound reasonable, so I guess I am worrying too much. I wasn't given an estimated time of arrival though.

Actually, It got shipped same day 'cause my order was over $199.

So it's just UPS that's taking up time.
