r/shipping

So today i saw on the tracking site that "The station has submitted a package return request. If you have any questions, please call" I got so frustrated and talked to temu support and they told me to reorder or contact the shipping company so i contacted the shipping company and they said dont worry its all good we canceled the request and you are gonna recieve it tomorrow I thought maybe the tracking is glitched but now i get this message ?? returned and signed ? i didnt get anything why would they even return it
btw this happened exactly outside their working hours so now i cant even call them or anything

still waiting for details

I already commented this before in another r/, but I am still waiting for my package to arrive. It was shipped on january 8 and it stopped updating the tracking the 23 of the same month. I tried to contact them but I have no response...

Can I claim somehow my money in any way? I ordered another product from the same store and it arrived in a couple of weeks, but this is just taking too long! The vendor doesn't answer me either and I don't really know what to do! :'(

i live in the us and i want to send a package of gifts to a friend in france. the package itself only weighs 2lbs and dimensions are 12 x 8 x 10. i don’t need express as we don’t care if it takes longer to get there. how much should shipping costs typically be? should it be expensive for the specific weight and dimensions of my package? i’ve never sent a package before and the whole process is confusing.

Running my own shipping setup for a small online store this spring has been mostly fine except for the labeling part that’s eating up way too much time with mother’s day orders rolling in. I need to create barcodes, qr codes and proper shipping labels from excel data on thermal rolls but nothing merges cleanly. The free tools I tried either watermark everything or break on larger runs and the basic printer software can’t keep up. I’ve looked at a few paid barcode generators around a couple hundred bucks but I’m cautious after past disappointments. anyone handling their own shipping actually found a barcode generator that makes this step straightforward?

Hi everyone..

I want to order an Aktiia/Hilo from Amazon UK since it is not available on Amazon in the Middle East. I was told Amazon may require a one-time password (OTP) at delivery. If I use Aramex Shop & Ship or MyUS, can I give that OTP to the forwarding company by phone so they can accept the package? Does that actually work in practice? I also heard Aramex gives a phone number for the delivery address, but nobody answers it. Has anyone here dealt with this successfully?

For those working in logistics / supply chain what’s the one thing that wastes the most time in your day?

Route planning?

Tracking shipments?

Dealing with delays?

Coordination between teams/drivers?

Curious what actually slows things down in real-world operations.
