A: SSS is a private parcel distribution service that employs third party delivery companies to deliver packages on our behalf. We provide tracking information and customer support for the companies we service. Our goal is to help all customers track the progress of their orders and receive their deliveries as quickly as possible

A: Delivery times vary by region. In the Northeast, delivery times range between 4-10 business days (one or two weeks) from the time we receive your package. In Texas and California, delivery times range between 7-15 business days (two or three weeks) from the time we receive your package. Please use the tracking system on our main page to determine when your delivery should arrive.

A: Unfortunately, NO. SSS provides one level of service. It is ground service, and deliveries take longer to process than with most national delivery companies. Unlike UPS or FedEx, we do not have the resources to provide overnight or expedited service at this time.

A: Yes. SSS requires that a signature be obtained for all deliveries. This signature must be obtained at the address printed on the package (unless an address change was authorized prior to delivery). Ideally, this signature will be on our Delivery Release Form (DRF). Please see the section on the Delivery Release Form for more information.

A: Delivery procedures vary by region. Each Carrier in the SSS network has existing procedures for their many customers, and we want them to handle our packages with little or no change in their standard operating procedures, to ensure timely deliveries. If it is the normal procedure of the carrier handling your delivery to call in advance, you will be called. If this is not their procedure, SSS cannot arrange for you to be called.

A: Unfortunately, NO. SSS has little control over the delivery schedule for any particular order. SSS packages are delivered via routes, and are scheduled based on the most efficient way to deliver all packages. We cannot arrange to have your delivery occur within any specified time frame besides our standard service schedule.

A: The DRF should be filled out with your order information and placed on your FRONT door, or in a place where it is clearly visible from the road for our driver. When the delivery arrives, if you are not available to accept hand-delivery, the delivery person will remove the DRF from your door and leave your package(s).

A: Please notate the date and time that you sign the DRF.

A: You should have your DRF up as soon as you receive it. In some cases, the DRF arrives a few days before your delivery does.

A: The DRF is the best way to accept an SSS delivery, and should be provided to the driver for every delivery. The DRF confirms we are delivering the parcel to the person who purchased it.

A: Unfortunately, No. But you can download and print one by Clicking Here.

A: Our drivers will attempt to make delivery to the address on the package regardless of whether the DRF is in place or not. Still, the DRF should be on the front door whenever you are expecting an order for two reasons:

1. Our delivery personnel are on a tight schedule. If the DRF is not in place and you do not hear the doorbell, or are unable to come to the door, the driver will not leave your package, and you will be expected to wait for the next available delivery time. This could delay your delivery by several days or even a week.

2. The DRF is like a homing beacon for your delivery. If our delivery person is driving down your street and sees the DRF on your door, they’ll know they’re in the right place.

A: The DRF needs to be somewhere our delivery person can retrieve it. If you live in an apartment building where visitors need to be “buzzed” in, you must leave the DRF down by the buzzer, or leave a note stating what buzzer to ring in the event that you are not home to let the driver in. This could be your building super, or another person in the building who will have the DRF to give to the driver.

You can also leave the DRF with your doorman, concierge, or other apartment personnel who would be able to accept delivery for you.

If none of these options are available to you, it may be easier to have your package sent to your place of work or to a relative’s house where the DRF can be left. If your order has already shipped and you are experiencing difficulties receiving delivery to your secured apartment building, you can have your package re-routed by e-mailing SSS Customer Service at service@rpsdelivers.com.

A: The DRF should be in the hands of the person our driver will first come in contact with when they bring your delivery. If there is a receptionist at your place of work, they should have the DRF. If there is a mailroom for deliveries, the mailroom staff should have the DRF. If you know in advance who will have the DRF, give this information to the person who takes your order.

A: If you cannot leave your DRF out when you are not home, you might not receive your delivery. If delivery of a package is attempted 3X times and the DRF or signature cannot be obtained, the package will be returned to the seller (exception: If an address correction is necessary to complete your delivery, a forth attempt can be arranged.)

To have your package re-routed to a location where the DRF can be made available, please e-mail Customer Service at service@rpsdelivers.com with your current order information and the address you would like your package delivered to. Please note, re-routing a parcel could delay delivery by a few days, and the charges to do so must be first approved by your shipper.

A: Unfortunately, NO. Because we employ third party delivery companies, SSS does not have access to information regarding the delivery schedule for any particular order. If you are expecting a delivery, please place the Delivery Release Form (DRF) on your front door and leave it there until the package arrives.

A: If you are expecting a delivery from SSS, you do not need to log in. This field is for our clients, the companies we deliver for, not their customers. Tracking information can be obtained by entering your Tracking # or SSS Order # into the “Shipment Tracking” field and clicking “Submit”

A: SSS cannot provide information on any order without first being provided the Tracking # or SSS Order #. If you do not know your Tracking #, please contact the seller and ask them to provide it.

A: The tracking information screen is displayed as a pop-up. Please unblock pop-ups for the SSS website and try again.

A: There are a number of reasons this could happen. The SSS tracking system is very particular. If one character in your Tracking # is wrong, it will not recognize your Tracking #. More often than not, the Tracking # entered is incorrect or incomplete. Please contact the company you placed your order with to confirm your Tracking #.

1. Not knowing if a character is an “O” or a zero: It is always a zero.
2. Not having the seller’s unique prefix code: Most of our tracking #s begin with a 4-digit prefix, followed by a dash. Example: 1150-H0X385012
3. Not having the SSS Tracking #: Companies that ship with SSS will often have a different # they use for their records. Contact the company you ordered from to make sure you have the SSS tracking #.

A: If you entered your Tracking # properly, a window should pop up that looks like this:

A: There are 4 status possibilities.

• ORDER PLACED: This status means that there is an order on file for your delivery, but the package has not been received yet from the seller. If this status does not change after a few days and you need information about your order, please contact the seller, SSS does not investigate packages we do not receive.
• AT SORTING CENTER: This status means that your parcel has been received at our Buffalo, NY distribution terminal for sorting and shipping. If your order has this status, your package will go out with our next shipment to your area.
• SHIPPED HANG DOORTAG NOW: This status means your package is on its way! Please place your SSS Delivery Release Form on your front door until the package arrives.
• DELIVERED: This status means your package was successfully delivered. If you did not receive your package but the status says DELIVERED, please e-mail Customer Service at service@rpsdelivers.com for assistance.

A: Until your parcel is scanned at our Buffalo, NY Sorting Center, SSS takes no responsibility for your package. There is a one business day delay between the time your seller releases the package and the time SSS scans it into theSorting Center. If you’ve been told your package has been released to SSS but the tracking system does not show it, check again the following day (Monday if your package was released on Friday). If your package is still not scanned into our warehouse by noon the following day, please contact your seller to determine the delay.

A: Most of the time, if a package is delayed, you will be contacted by either SSS or your selling company, to confirm your address and make arrangements to have your delivery attempted again. Occasionally, a package will go undelivered that SSS is not alerted to. If you are expecting delivery, and it is now past your expected delivery date, please contact the seller and e-mail SSS Customer Service at service@rpsdelivers.com. Make sure to include your order information in your e-mail.

A: If an SSS representative has authorized an additional attempt on the delivery of your package, the carrier will have 6 business days to attempt delivery again. For example, if it is a Tuesday when this occurs, you should see delivery by the following Wednesday.

A: SSS is a delivery service only, and cannot take orders on behalf of our clients. Due to our non-disclosure agreements, we cannot refer you to any of the companies we service.
