Well, there is no guarantee that they are ALL from Club Bing, but all of the Club Bing prizes come from that drop shipper (i.e. they may also ship for other companies, but I doubt it).
In any case, here is how the UPS tracking number works...
1Z 665F33 03 1234567 9
1Z : same for all UPS packages
665F33: the shipper's account number
03: service level (03 for Ground, 42 for Ground with Sig. Req., etc)
1234567: package number, or invoice number, or whatever the shipper wants to use
9: check bit is calculated using the numbers above to make sure it is correct.
Since all of the packages are shipped by the same distributor, they have the same
account number... This is how we know that they are CB prizes...
Right now, the 'active'
package numbers are between 0209197 a 0215442... There are a total of 1090 packages in transit in that range of 6245 possible tracking numbers, assuming you know the service level...
Here is a list of
service levels that I know of:
01 - UPS Next Day Air ("Red")
02 - UPS Second Day Air ("Blue")
03 - UPS Ground
12 - UPS Third Day Select
13 - UPS Next Day Air Saver ("Red Saver")
15 - UPS Next Day Air Early A.M.
22 - UPS Ground - Returns Plus - Three Pickup Attempts
32 - UPS Next Day Air Early A.M. - COD
33 - UPS Next Day Air Early A.M. - Saturday Delivery, COD
41 - UPS Next Day Air Early A.M. - Saturday Delivery
42 - UPS Ground - Signature Required
44 - UPS Next Day Air - Saturday Delivery
66 - UPS Worldwide Express
72 - UPS Ground - Collect on Delivery
78 - UPS Ground - Returns Plus - One Pickup Attempt
90 - UPS Ground - Returns - UPS Prints and Mails Label
A0 - UPS Next Day Air Early A.M. - Adult Signature Required
A1 - UPS Next Day Air Early A.M. - Saturday Delivery, Adult Signature Required
A2 - UPS Next Day Air - Adult Signature Required
A8 - UPS Ground - Adult Signature Required
A9 - UPS Next Day Air Early A.M. - Adult Signature Required, COD
AA - UPS Next Day Air Early A.M. - Saturday Delivery, Adult Signature Required, COD
Service Level Distribution of the LSC/CB prizes in my database:
Code:
+---------+---------+
| Service | QTY (%) |
+---------+---------+
| 03 | 75.83 |
| 42 | 23.57 |
| 02 | 0.59 |
| other | 0.01 |
+---------+---------+
Just to clarify (because I have been asked this a lot lately), when you enter the tracking number on the USP web site, you do
NOT see the recipient's name, you do
NOT see the destination street or ZIP code... So, even if you figure out the tracking numbers, you still won't know if the package is for you or someone else in your city.
