I'm trying to setup my USPS account to receive incoming package alerts.. but when I go to verify my identity.. I get really random questions about living in random places and random roads.. I put none of the above on every question (which is true lol..) and the next page said I'm locked out or .. something like that. Has this happened to anyone else??

Phew, glad to hear I'm not the only one. I thought my address was compromised by someone or something.

I'm super excited about this one because it doesn't match up to anything I'm expecting!!!

It's a 0.50 lb package w/ signature being overnighted via UPS from NET-A-PORTER OUTBOUND in Mahwah, NJ, & it will be here tomorrow between 9am & 12:45pm EST!

Mystery package using USPS "Parcel Select Lightweight"...

NEVER heard of that before so I looked it up:
Quote :
Parcel Select is a USPS mail class that offers ground delivery service at very low rates for large or heavy packages. When using this mail class, shipments can weigh up to 70lbs. and delivery ranges from 2-8 days. Rates are based on distance, weight and mailpiece dimensions.
Since its preshipment info, not showing where its coming from--or whom is sending it. I'm not expecting anything heavy or huge right now. My mind is racing at what could it possibly be?

Oh, and turns out the package earlier from Brandon, MS. was to a family member and not me. NOT a prize at all sadly. Though USPS would pick up that it wasn't my name on it. **shrugs**

Edit: More info on myUSPS portal---package shipment info indicates: CARETEK INC DBA COLORADO TIMBERLINE. Upon some research Colorado Timberline makes Golf and Cold Weather Apparel (http://wholesale.coloradotimberli...index.html). So if its a win maybe a jacket or some shirts from something? Still doesn't explain shipping for heavy weights or irregular sized things.

I think USPS picks up all packages to your address, but the other 2 only show packages in your name

By any chance, did you win a Roku 3 from Toyota's Graduate to Fun sweeps? That's the only sweeps I know I won where I'm still expected the prize. Anyway, mine will arrive on Monday so I'll know for sure.
Did you end up getting anything for the BBY.com shipment? I also got an identical notification /weight etc for delivery this week, but its still just a shipping label. No clue what it may be. Thanks!

How do you all find out what the reference number means on FedEx alerts? I received a notice a package weighing 1.3 lbs. is being shipped from Reno, NV with a reference number of 46557738.

I don't think they mean anything, except to the company that created the shipment. An internal way for them to keep track of batches of items sent at the same time. However, if someone receives an item before you, they may have seen the ref number before and have more info on what contest it was.
