This "LTIPLE CARRIER" info on shipped item via GSP doesn't tell any updated informations.
How to get these?
I know this is an old question and you probably received your package long ago, but nobody answered it and I thought by answering it might help someone else. I was having the same problem and your question came up in my google search along with numerous other similar questions elsewhere. Fortunately, one of the other search hits had the answer.
Forget the useless email that ebay sends you and don't bother to look at the order details page that it points to. Instead, go to 'My eBay' summary, and click purchase history on the left. You should see the item in question there and it should have a GSP tracking number beginning with 'UPAA' which is a clickable link. If you click on it you'll get a 'Shipment details' pop up which shows tracking info beyond the 'Shipped from the Global Shipping Center to International Destination'. At the very top it should show you what carrier it has been handed off to and their tracking number.
Short answer:
It doesn't matter.
If you are not home when the carrier arrives, he will leave a Notice telling you where and when you can pick it up.
Usually that's the local PO the next day. Bring iD.
Tracking is a Seller Protection.
Your seller used the GSP because she only had to get the parcel to Kentucky (the GSP plant) to have protection against fake Not Received claims.
Long answer:
Another poster worked this out for buyers who have not yet received their GSP shipment.
TRACKING SYSTEM FOR GSP
It's not user friendly... But I found how to track your package via the global shipping program, once it gets to Canada you need to:
- Log on to eBay.ca
- Under the My eBay menu select Purchase History
- Under your orders find the specific order. It should have something like the following:
Estimated delivery Mon, Jan 11 - Thu, Jan 21
Tracking number: Tracking number UPAAB000000#########
- Click on the UPA number. This should open up a Shipment Details window, which should contain something like this:
This shipment has been transferred to CPC for delivery to the final destination # 70351#########
-Click on the Canada Post number to see where the Canada Post Tracking history and expected delivery
And there is this method too (originally posted by unison)
I found this thread today while awaiting a shipment. Once I learned that Pitney Bowes was the relevant company, I was able to find my package's tracking info in about 10 seconds.
Step 1: Go to the Pitney Bowes Parcel Tracker page at https://parceltracking.pb.com/app/#/dashboard/
Step 2: Enter your eBay-supplied Global Tracking number (mine began with UPAA...)
Step 3: You will be shown limited tracking info. In my case, only up to the point the package left the USA and entered Canada.
Step 4: Click on the "Track on carrier's website" link at the top right.
Step 5: You will be provided with tracking on the page of the actual shipping company, in my case Canada Post, with a tracking number in THEIR system.
Problem solved! If only eBay would put a link to https://parceltracking.pb.com/app/#/dashboard/ in their shipping emails, this could all be avoided...
ZOMBIE THREAD FROM 2017
The problem with zombie threads is that the information given is often out of date and inaccurate.
