I ordered something from [amazon.com](http://amazon.com) and merrily, I was tracking my package. Unfortunately, it says that my package left NYC where I live and went to Long Island City where it’s out for delivery. Er…what gives? And whom do I contact about getting this straightened out? ---

Call customer service for UPS, give them the tracking number and correct the address. ---

Unfortunately, it says that my package left NYC where I live and went to Long Island City where it’s out for delivery. Er…what gives? And whom do I contact about getting this straightened out? It may be possible that some Manhattan deliveries are processed and delivered from a Long Island City terminal, it may be the closest terminal for some East Side and Midtown addresses ---

Well, [amazon.com](http://amazon.com) said to let the seller know in a few days if it doesn’t show up. But now it’s saying it’s been delivered in New York City so I’ll check when I get back home and see if my lip venom is here! ---
