I have a 1718 coming by UPS. [ :eek: Hey, it might make it]
The tracking number begins with a "K"... (ex: K012 3456 789)
Plus it does not have an estimated delivery date...

I have never seen a tracking number that begins with a "K"... Is this something new?
Is the K-series for cheap bulk shipments or something?
In our changing world, have they just decided not to guess-timate a delivery date anymore?

Anybody? :confused:

I've never seen a U.P.S. Tracking Number like that. I just received a package, and it had the familiar 1Z prefix. I deal with U.P.S. on a daily basis, and I don't think that is a U.P.S. number. Usually you will get a delivery date from them, as well. I would be checking in to that further. Good luck, and let us know what you find out.

Chances are it's an internal tracking number from whoever packaged and brokered your shipment with UPS ... I used to see that a lot from MBE and The UPS Stores before their systems got fully integrated with the UPS system. May still be the case in some places. There should be a real "1Z" tracking number somewhere on the receipt.

OK! Make a liar outta me, :rolleyes: but NOW it has a "rescheduled delivery date"...

Hey! Tornadoes! It's all over the news right now, and the guitar departed Jacksonville FL yesterday morning...
It might have got sidetracked in MS, AL or FL.

Nevermind... :p

That still is a weird tracking number.

I have seen a couple of the "K" tracking numbers. I do not know what they mean or how they originate, but I have seen two that I can remember in the last year like that.

I'm hoping it means, " 'K, we got a little sidetracked, let's get this to it's intended destination in the condition it was shipped.."

First- You should NOT post the tracking number here.
Second- UPS Shipments beginning with "K" are legitimate.
Third -if you want more explanation of the UPS "K" - PM me.
