How true. I bought something on eBay from Canada in mid-November and it was shipped before the strike started but apparently didn't make it across the border in time so I'm still waiting for it.

Have a $5500 registered package sitting in DC for 12 days on the way to VA. It's an hour and a half from destination. Yes. They're slowing down a lot.

I mean it's the second week of December, it makes sense that there's slow downs. Ive been doing some online shopping for my girlfriend and every website I was on basically said order before the 5th of December or we can't guarantee delivery by Christmas. I just always kind of assume that USPS/UPS/FedEx get swamped starting black Friday through the end of the year and plan accordingly. It happens basically every year and has been that way for years. Is what it is.

Everything that we are talking about was ordered between 11/28 Thanksgiving Day and 12/2 Cyber Monday. Don’t really think the holiday gift giving had started yet at that point. Am I wrong?

I thought prices at Publix Supermarket were “temporarily” increasing during COVID because of all the shortages of supplies, workers, chickens/cows, etc. Except that they never went back down again. This is in stark contrast to vintage sports cards that went to the moon and came back down to reality rather quickly once it became apparent that the human race was not ending. Still waiting for those food prices to come back down again.

Yes, I believe you are wrong. Holiday buying begins in full force the entire month of November these days.

I second the emotion. LOTG consignment check and RMY winnings stuck in transit. Apparently the courier services have stalled out too. A minor inconvenience for me compared to the serious in-your-face hardships incurred by small businesses and commerce in general across Canada.

It’s okay for the post office to raise shipping charges on 4 different occasions in 2024, cause…… Certainly not in appreciation for more efficient service provided. Used to see maybe one increase per year. But, why not jump on the bandwagon with everything else increasing, except vintage sports cards in low to mid grade condition.

Well, one package officially lost now and all others still have not arrived yet and running behind estimated delivery times and that’s with the holiday slowdowns figured in to the equation. Great job USPS is doing!

I have 2 stories. On Dec 3rd I bought a card in the morning from California. Seller had it in the mail that day. Then it bounced around California until the 8th. Then appeared in El Paso Texas and sat there until yesterday at 1:46am. The original estimated delivery date was the 10th. Since that never happened they changed the estimated date until the 14th. I am hoping it is correct.

Still have not heard anything from anyone on this. Last Thursday I was supposed to receive a shipment of supplements. When UPS arrived the lady said I should have 2 boxes but she could only find one. Said if she found the other she would drop it off later in the day. When it never showed up that day I checked tracking and see this.

Estimated delivery
Information not available.

The package has been damaged. All merchandise has been discarded and the sender will be notified.

UPS will notify the shipper about the damage.
