Do you track your orders when shopping online?

Once it's been long enough that I'm seriously wondering what happened to the order, I begin tracking. Once, the order never arrived, and the website was gone, so I do check. I also try not to deal with fly-by-night companies, but you can't always tell.

If they have a tracking number I watch it like a hawk...I love watching it get closer and closer until bingo...it's here. :) Besides I'm terribly impatient and can hardly wait for things to get here. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

I don't order anything online and in case I do I would want to track it down if possible. I work in a company where in people order from me and I track their packages because I don't want them to get lost or delayed. Then when it comes to them I try to make sure that everything came in well.

I love to track my orders. I don't care what it is, I have to track it. I just like knowing where my order is. I like getting mail so it's nice to know that I have something coming to me soon. I also hate waiting for things so tracking it helps keep me occupied about where it is. I usually track packages several times a day. Sometimes if it's not that important or I'm not that excited about it, I will track it once a day or every other day. However if I'm really looking forward to it I track it as much as I can.

After a few days if I still havent recieved what I ordered I will get online to see where it is at and how much longer it will take to get it.

Yes, I love when something I've bought online arrives! It's like getting a present even though I paid for it. As far as tracking, sometimes I will check to see if something has shipped but I normally just check the email the company sends and wait.

I usually track my order. I want to make sure that it has been sent off, and I also want to make sure that I am home when it does arrive. Also I want to make sure that my credit card statement has it on it. Most of the time, it arrives earlier than what I expected because I usually get a notice that they will let me know when and if they have it in stock and if they do, they usually ship it immediately so the wait is usually checking to see if it is on my credit card statement online. After that, I can expect it within a day or so. Oh and I do not get exciting if it is for someone else. It never is. I go to the local stores and pick something on. Most of the stuff online is for me and it is something that I cannot get in the local stores, and I have wanted it for a long time.

I do shop online but tracking orders doesn't usually do any good. Usually, they will just say things like orders are being packed or that they are already shipped. Then what next? If they are shipped, it means the items are out of their hands and whether we get them or not is by luck. Thankfully I have always received my items fine. Like today, I just received something I order from a USA site and it took 3 weeks to arrive. C'mon... I don't know how some delivery services do things. When I post something to the States, I can get it there in a few days just by using normal low-end airmail. Anyway, it is not always that you are provided a tracking number. If you are using like DHL or FedEx registered and you get a tracking number, great, you can use it. It might provide more information - in fact it usually does - as least you know more precise locations of where your parcel is if you are ordering from another country especially. But unless this is the only mode of shipment, getting a tracking numbers usually means you need to pay more. I rather wait a while more and pay less, to be honest. I absolutely hate paying delivery charge and will opt not to order from a site unless the delivery charge is acceptable. It just doesn't make sense. After I order something, I would most probably be anticipating for it to arrive. If I wait like a month and still nothing, I would probably try contacting them to check. But you know I likely won't be ordering from that site again.

I always track the order. That way, I know what day the package is coming and I try to be home on the date given because I don't want anyone stealing it off my front porch! And yes, it's sad but I do get excited when I see the package. Even though I know it's nothing more than jeans I ordered for my kids or a book for my husband, when I see the package there's always this feeling of maybe it could be something else - something better! - that someone else sent to us! LOL!

yup i do. i usually will check the status of the item whenever i go online. i'll keep on tracking it until i receive the item ahaha! too anxious and excited to be getting whatever it is that i bought online!

Yes. Certainly. I've made quite a few online purchases so far. I always fear that my items will not arrive so I always make sure I have the tracking number so that I will roughly know when I can expect the items to reach Singapore. I'll check once every few days. If the items are taking longer than expected, I'll start emailing the merchant.

Hello If it something I need and need it fast I will have to look at the tracking number ! With ebay I love to look at the tracking number . With ebay you never know how long you can wait for something ! So it is best to know !

yeah...i do track them whenever i shop for something online..that's b coz i experienced sellers who deliver them to the wrong address n sellers who delayed in delivering the order... there was one case where i waited almost a month for my product to arrive when i suppose to recieve it within a week....I wonder who's at fault??????? the seller or the courier people?????

friend i am from india.i dont know where you are from.In India it is very much requireds to track down your order because the system of online purcasing is not o devoloped in India. moreover you need to knock your seller few times to get your order.

[i]HI o2, It's always my hubby who will do the transaction so, he is the one who is tracking often! Most of the items he shop online that is for me is always a surprise so, I will only know it when he will open the package an hand it to me..LOL! But, I know how exciting it is when we are waiting our orders![/i]

Yes I always track my orders. I'm getting old I guess b/c the other day I placed a couple of orders for some things and I know I hit the button to finish the order but when I went back to check on it it was still in my buggy now I'm rethinking it and may buy it from a different site with cheaper shipping. I never get lucky and find cheap shipping or no shipping on stuff even after looking for coupon codes on other sites.

I do order online every month since I conduct courses here in our country and the hanbooks are from the United States. Usually as I order, they will give me the tracking code. I will usually wait 2 to 3 days and verify the shipment. Those are the usualy number of days that my shipment will arrive at the destination. I will just call the courrier and tell them to process the tax payment and have my orders delivered to me or in some cases advise them that I will just pick it up.

we don't usually track the things we bought online...but sometimes we do if its taking so long

I track my orders a day after I ordered them online. I just want to make sure that they are doing something about my order and if not, I tend to worry that I may have bought something from a site that scams people. I sometimes find myself saying "OooOOooh, I wonder what's the box" even though I already know what's in it.
