On Monday, July 7. I noticed under My Flings that my order had shipped, and that it had shipped via UPS. So I click Track Order, and get error on UPS site. Ok.. things just aren't in the system yet. It appears to have been shipped on July 3rd.
I check email, and there is a shipping notice from ThingFling. oh goodie. It tells me that it had shipped:
Date shipped: 7/3/2008 12:00:00 AM
Shipped Via: www.ups.com
Tracking Number: 36552626030XXXX
You can Track your package at:
http://www.ups.com/
http://www.usps.com/
Yeah.. so I go to UPS and check... nope, error again
I go to USPS and check.... nope, no good there, either
I even go to http://www.ups-mi.net/packageID/ thinking maybe they used that service... nope, no go.
So I try FedEx. Yep. there is my package:
Tracking number 36552626030XXXX
Ship date Jul 3, 2008
Estimated delivery Jul 10, 2008
Invoice number TF29275
Destination Portland, OR
Service type Home Delivery
Does the left hand know what the right hand is doing?
Having a shipping notice with incorrect info is one of many frustrating things with ThingFling.

The UPS referrnce is a hold over from when they used to ship UPS. But the odd thing is is they DID update the system several months ago... I just checked my myflings, and the last time I had a package with the UPS tracking link was 4/9. All my numerous orders since then either have the fedex tracking link or the USPS tracking link where appropriate. So, my guess is your case was a glitch of some sort. I would shoot them off the details in a helpdesk ticket in case they're interested in investigating.

Actually, the "Thing Fling - Order Shipped" email still indicates UPS, even though it has a FedEx tracking number. This has always been the case for me.. even up until the shipping notice I got today. "My Flings" is correct, however. [edit]Scratch that. My Flings is now indicating UPS for my most recently shipped, even though it's FedEx.[/edit] TheEndless

Sorry, I don't really pay much attention to the shipping emails, suppose I'm used to the old days where you never got shipping emails and always had to watch "My Flings".
