I sent out 14 books last week using PBS delivery tracking. I have a receipt from the post office showing that they were all scanned. The USPS web site is tracking them and in fact one has already been delivered. But only 4 of them are showing up in the system the rest of them show as having not been scanned into the postal system yet. Anyone else having issues with tracking not updating?

Recently, I had a book coming to me from CA, and for several days all it posted was it was in CA. The next day it arrived in my mailbox. But I'm used to this happening. Quite often you don't see my PO posting information, on accepting a book, until it is halfway there and other POs have posted in-transit info.

My items are tracking on USPS.gov though. They just aren't updating here on PBS. It's not that big a deal except that I pay for printable postage for a reason. I could save the money from the fee if I printed all my postage through Paypal but I like the credit-on-scan feature as I burn through credits pretty quickly. I was really just wondering if it's another issue from the update.

I had three (separate) wishlist books headed my way using PBS delivery tracking. It seemed like the tracking stopped updating in PBS over the weekend - one book arrived yesterday, but it still doesn't show that in the PBS system. It does seem like something is off again with the internal tracking.
