OrangeConnex Bogus Tracking Numbers
Summary: jon-2795 experienced issues with two orders from different vendors, both using OrangeConnex tracking numbers. Despite receiving different tracking numbers, the last nine tracking entries were identical, and both packages were supposedly handed to a local facility over two weeks ago but never arrived. jon-2795 found through AI assistance that this could be a result of reused or hijacked tracking numbers, possibly indicating fabricated tracking histories or systemic issues within OrangeConnex. ypdc_dennis shared they haven't faced this issue and advised checking the seller's feedback and the last-mile delivery information as precautions.
I bought 2 different items from 2 different vendors and got 2 different tracking numbers from OrangeConnex but in each case, my package was never delivered. The problem is the last 9 dated and time stamped entries (right down to the minute and second) on both tracking numbers were identical. Also the very last identical dated and time stamped entry was a little over 2 weeks ago, where both packages were ''delivered to the local facility'.
I asked ChatGPT and yep - this is a known situation:
Reused or hijacked tracking: Sellers sometimes attach a real OrangeConnex number that belongs to someone else’s parcel so the timeline looks “active” (or even “delivered” in your area). Community reports describe SpeedPAK/OrangeConnex numbers showing movement or “delivered” without the buyer ever receiving the item.
I also asked Microsoft Copilot AI about this situation at its reply was:
What This Suggests
• Fabricated Tracking History: The identical entries strongly suggest the data was cloned or auto-generated.
• Internal Mishandling or Theft: If the packages were scanned into a facility but never scanned out, they may have been lost or stolen internally.
• Systemic Issue: If Orangeconnex is involved in both shipments, this could point to a broader pattern of misconduct or negligence.

So I'm asking has anyone else run up against this same issue?

·11 months agoNot had that problem with any of my purchases, but I do check the seller's feedback for problems and also check to see how long the seller has been selling on ebay before buying from China.
Your detailed tracking should have an entry for LM Carrier: [*] , LM tracking No. [*]
LM is short for Last-Mile, and indicates who is doing the local delivery and the local company's tracking number. That detail should show up before the item arrives in Canada.
