USPS Problem (PWCC Vault)

Karma, but best of luck.

I have a package on its way to me that was send via FEDEX Smart Post, which is a combination of FEDEX and the USPS. It is just coming from two states away, which is usually a two day ship. It has been nearly three weeks and the package is still inching its way along.

Things are running slow, that's for sure. I bought 5 bats from a guy in IL (I'm in Wisconsin). They mailed out May 8th. They finally got an "arrival at origin facility" today. That's 17 days. For Priority Mail. Still in IL. And still likely won't be here for another 2-3 days at least.

So things are moving...sort of. But slowly.

Most of my purchases have arrived in a reasonable amount of time. I did have this one that had me worried but finally arrived. I think some of the larger hubs that had issues with workers not showing up because of Covid created a backlog. The seller filed a missing package claim and was told that it was in Detroit sitting in a bin with about 800 other packages. The backlog was because of being understaffed.

Shipped April 23rd and arrived on May 20. I also sold a card that took about the same amount of time to arrive in San Francisco areas. You most likely will be fine.

Sent my Dad some hand sanitizer and masks. It took over a month for him to get it in Michigan. Had a board member send me some cards from the NE and it took well over three weeks for that. Things are just running really really slow.

Thank you everyone for posting. Be safe.

Been "COVID" buying a lot here lately...and almost all have come regular time. That said I have had two delayed with zero explanation. One shipped without tracking...two months later it randomly showed up. The other had tracking...just stopped exactly like yours. Then...randomly showed up. So both ended well...I guess...lol.

Signature required no longer means signature required in COVID times. Many post office employees are no longer ringing doorbells to get people's signatures. Maybe you want registered?

I get 2-10 packages a day. This has not been uncommon over the last few months. Have had it happen several times on packages I have received. Luckily all have shown up. I wouldn’t worry yet I’d give it another week than push it. Of course if the buyer is understanding. If he’s acting like a wild man I’d push the post office a little more to look into it.
