Understanding my Tracking

Post by **lolmail** » 15 Sep 2013, 18:23

Hello I ordered GTAV from Amazon and it was dispatched yesterday apparently via Tracked 48.

It has been at this since yesterday

14-SEP-2013 17:32 Outward RDC Handheld Acceptance Princess Royal Distribution Centre

Firstly can someone tell me what" Outward RDC Handheld Acceptance" means

2nd, can somebody tell me if sometimes an item can move and it will not be tracked and just arrive

Also do Royal Mail move items between Distribution centres on Sundays Because I live in the North (west yorkshire) and the centre my package is at is in London(next to wembley) which is weird

Thank you(think I posted this in wrong place last itme)

Don't worry about it its progressing through the system this is a technical status which means basically it is in, or soon will be handed over to Royal Mail by Amazon.

Yes possible - Extremely unlikely though.

Not weird it's probably the closest Distribution Centre to the Amazon warehouse that has been storing your particular copy of the game. Yes items start moving Sunday evening and are probably going into the local Mail Centres Sun/Mon for delivery on Tuesday.

I thought that Outward RDC meant it was leaving and was tracked to leave

No need to get concerned yet - my nephew is expecting exactly the same and we are in West Yorkshire as well, we have the same status as you.

I wouldn't get concerned to any great degree unless you see no movement before 6-7am on Tuesday - even then because of the volume (100,000s) some may slip past the scanners without being updated.

At the worst case if your postie does not deliver it tomorrow, then go ape at Amazon - worrying before then will only give you ulcers.

I know, its just the excitement.. its weird to explain but the last GTA was in 2008 and its something that happens every 4-5 Years.. for someone my age (21) its very exciting and feels like Christmas when you where a kid :)

Trust me if I do not get it tomorrow I will go bat s**t at Amazon, did your Nephew get the same as me? They Promoted First Class Delivery and than when it was dispatched I later found out it was Tracked 48 which is not first class.. pretty disgusting to advertise first class and than change it without telling me(had to question them about it)

No his has always been tracked - but sent 48 instead of 24 - still okay as most will be delivered tomorrow anyway.

ah right, I still think its about cheeky from Amazon to do that,mine is also sent Tracked 48 and it was advertised as First Class and when I even go to my Orders it still shows it as First Class.. never even got an email by them to tell me it had changed which is just wrong IMO.

anyways thanks for your help

tracked 48 is more effective than first class

wait really? I would think it would be Firstclass/Tracked 24 and than Tracked 48 after that?

I thought Tracked 48 was more of a "second class" option

P.S: still no update on tracker.. apperently its sitll:

14-SEP-2013 17:48 Outward RDC Handheld Acceptance Princess Royal Distribution Centre

with me living in Leeds

"when its busy and the postie can not complete 99 per cent of them would go round in the van and do the tracked and first class would be brought back for the next day .i said tracked is more effective . nobody scans first class think about it"

not quite sure what you are trying to say.. think I get you though

First class = usually within 3 working days, no tracking.
Tracked 48 = usually delivered within 2 working days, tracked.

I assume it's arrived since you've been quiet today? lol
