Rare mrell345 Posted December 4, 2023 #1 Share Posted December 4, 2023 I received the notification that my medallions had shipped (to Canada) last Wednesday. In the email there is a USPS tracking number and a link to their tracking page but so far it keeps saying "Status Not Available". Has anyone else had this issue ? Is the number they are using not trackable ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare redtop101 Posted December 4, 2023 #2 Share Posted December 4, 2023 How many days are you away from your cruise? We are also in Canada and hoping to hear about our medallion shipping soon - 23 days away for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dewayneg Posted December 5, 2023 #5 Share Posted December 5, 2023 My sailing is 30 days away and the app says I have to pick it up on embarkation. Does that sound right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nodakrulz Posted December 5, 2023 #7 Share Posted December 5, 2023 We cruise on Dec. 17. We got a shipping notification on Nov. 24, but according to tracking history it wasn't actually delivered to a USPS facility until Dec. 1. They were delivered today (Dec. 4). We live in the US.

I ordered our medallions about 6 weeks ago and my CC was charged Dec 1st. Our cruise is Dec 27th, so hopefully the medallion will be shipped very soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mrell345 Posted December 7, 2023 Author #12 Share Posted December 7, 2023 So as USPS is still not tracking this number I called Princess to check on this out of curiosity. They transferred me over to Ocean Ready and the lady there seemed to be saying that they would actually ship on the 11th or 12th of Dec (cruise is on 23rd). I asked if she meant they are expected to arrive on the 11/12 or if they are just shipped on this date. She said "Yes" and I couldn't get here to clarify. So I will wait and see. Not the worst thing if they dont arrive before we leave as we just have to do blue lane and get new medallions but I would prefer to have them and do Green lane. Since, from what I am reading, they don't seem to have a priority lane for Platinum/Elite members any more we just have to get in line with everyone else.

Hi - We are in the US and have a USPS tracking number - package seems to move a little closer each day, but still in Los Angeles. We are also on the cruising on the 23rd. I will let you know if/when we receive them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Rick&Jeannie Posted December 7, 2023 #14 Share Posted December 7, 2023 The tracking on medallions really seems to have a life of its own! They seem to move all around the country. I personally don't think it's worth even *looking* at tracking for them...I don't think it is accurate at all! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milolii Posted December 7, 2023 #15 Share Posted December 7, 2023 (edited) The medallions are shipped from overseas, (China is one place). You may or may not see tracking until the medallions reach the US. Then they are sent to a central shipping location, (or two) and finally to your local post office who delivers them. All this saves Princess money and doesn’t seem to be because of the USPS. Edited December 7, 2023 by milolii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you're not going to get a USPS tracking number until it hits the west coast and "accepted" by the post office. At that point (in my opinion) tracking (for whatever reason) just seems to fall off a cliff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mrell345 Posted December 7, 2023 Author #17 Share Posted December 7, 2023 (edited) Ours are coming to Canada, you would think if they were coming from overseas they would come directly here and not have to travel though the US. Everyone else sending packages for Christmas is probably not helping either. Edited December 7, 2023 by mrell345 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot swear to this, but I'm pretty sure the US west coast is the entry point even if it's going to Canada. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got my medallion today - notification Nov 27 with USPS tracking number that never worked - arrived Dec 7 - it was shipped by Canada Post Xpresspost from Mississauga, Ont so suspect for Canada they ship from US in a batch to USPS then batch sent on to Mississauga "Ocean Medallion Fulfillment" location and put in Canada Post. Lots of time in advance as I leave December 19th. Reassuring. Confusing with the USPS tracking code but I think maybe it's part of the bigger batch sent out so won't track as individual item. Only a guess. We will learn as this is new for us Canadians. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got notified today that ours got shipped with a USPS tracking number, which, again doesn’t seem to work, as the packages are eventually offloaded to Canada Post. As long as they get here before our Dec 27 sailing with all the other Christmas cards/packages and shut down from Christmas Eve through Boxing Day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No nothing from Canada Post and of course they have their own tracking number which we have no way of knowing. Guess we need to provide feedback on our post-cruise survey so they can learn as newer process for Princess mailing to Canada. Not that it would change!

SunAngel Posted December 8, 2023 #24 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Leaving the 12/21 and here is my tracking info. It goes from NY to CA. Strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mrell345 Posted December 8, 2023 Author #25 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Just got our medallions delivered by Canada Post Xpresspost. So for Canadians it is taking about 9 days, Ignore the USPS tracking number sent as it does not seem to have anything to do with our delivery or it is not traceable by us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
