USPS shipping delays

I purchased an air pump for my airgun from one state over in NJ on Dec. 20. Tracking shows it was processed through Baton Rouge, LA on Dec 27. The listing is now changed from NJ to CA/NJ. Must be coming from CA.
 
18 days still no Wooltimate :/ opening a case today...
 
I called Crosman last Monday for a fill valve replacement. USPS says the replacement valve is due to be delivered today after a week. Shipping was from NY to PA. I don't think it was actually mailed for a couple of days. 5 days in shipping.

It was not delivered yesterday. It now shows, "In transit arriving late". It was only a few blocks away.
 
I had a usps standard post package come from Georgia to VT. It took 27 days....but it got here! I expect things to start getting caught up a little in the next few weeks. I can tell you the Postal service, UPS and Fed Ex are working their tail off though!!!! Heck, I had a fed ex package sit in the warehouse for 4 days here, but they delivered other stuff that was ordered...they just dont have room for the volume on their trucks!
 
Day 19... still no updates. Filed a claim today!
 
I have an envelope to mail for my gun club membership. I hope it gets there and the SASE comes back.
 
Day 19... still no updates. Filed a claim today!
I received a call today only hours after filing a claim which was nice to see. The lady was from the local USPS that would be delivering the package I am waiting on. She tried to track down the package but stated what I already knew which was that it hadn't had one shipping update since it was shipped on the 10th. She tried contacting the USPS store where it was sent from but they couldn't help. She said the only thing I could do is wait, which isn't exactly what I wanted to hear. She said to go ahead and file a claim to get a refund that way if the package isn't found I'll get the money sooner. At this rate it might be a better bet anyways since I probably wont even get to use the hunting gear this year lol.


Here are the time periods to file a claim.

and shoutout @GCTerpfan for being so helpful through the whole thing. I am really glad you paid to upgrade the insurance to what the value actually was of the iteams I purchased, otherwise I think I would really have been in a rough spot and out a couple hundred dollars. I am not out of the woods yet but I am confident this will get resolved.

I had basically the same thing happen and once I contacted the USPS about making a claim I was called by the local post office that would handle the package and he had no more information than I had but once the claim was filed it magically started moving forward after weeks and was finally delivered.
I know this isn’t what everyone wants to hear but be patient it will make it.

I sent a Tactacam back in due to a firmware brick early November. It was shipped back to me 5 days after it made it to MN. As of last Tuesday, it still was not here, so I filed a claim. My doorbell went off at 8am the following morning and a lady handed me the package. Must have been buried by all the fake ballots they are hiding. Moral of the story is either be patient or file earlier if you want them to get motivated.
 
Ordered something from Cabelas in late November. Paid $5 shipping. They sent it via "SmartPost" (Fedex to USPS) and it still hasn't arrived. Another package from Cabelas ordered a few days before in November, arrived just a few days ago...
 
Finally got last of my packages today! The last one was the first purchase back on November 29!
 
Here is a new one, I shipped a package through UPS to a fellow member on here, today I get a box from the post office, it’s that UPS package, they told me they have no idea how this happened call UPS, if you check the tracking number it’s saying delivered to the correct address which is obviously BS I’m holding onto it not to mention it started off with UPS but came back through the post office, so I drive down to the UPS hub and try to explain this to the kid behind the counter and he has no idea what to think, so he rips all the extra stickers off the box the post office or whoever put on there and said to me lets try again, I asked shouldn’t it have a new shipping label will the tracking number still work, he said it will still work and told me I’m all set, well guess what the tracking number isn’t working yet.....

When I was a boy, my parents sold one of our dogs and that dog was on the doorstep the very next morning. Must have traveled about 10mi and had to cross a river to come home. We returned the payment and kept the dog.

Some gear isn’t meant to find a new home :)
 
So my wife was getting a new iPhone shipped before Christmas. It spend 3 weeks in limbo and then yesterday was delivered and signed for at an address in a different state. That’s government work for ya.
 
My friend and I ordered 2 Field Tork knifes. They were in transit they showed them leaving the main post office hub not too far from his house then they sent them to a another hub near where I live. Then they showed that it was in another state they finally arrived 4 weeks later. So USPS sucks.

Earlier this year I was sending a small box of milkweed to another member here who happens to be across country. Took it down to the local post office in the morning and paid the postage and got the tracking number. Later that day I went to forward the tracking number to the guy and just happened to check it before I sent it on. What do you know, delivery scheduled for tomorrow . . . . how is that possible? Well a little further look revealed they had entered the FROM address as the TO address and sent it right back to my house. On the plus side it showed up on time. :tearsofjoy: The down side was I had to pay another shipping fee to get it where it was supposed to go.

On the other side of that coin, I have shipped two large items to different members here from classified sales and had one shipped to me from a classified sale, all late 2020, using USPS all without incident. All three made the trip with no issues in pretty good time, delivered as promised. I guess I can't complain too much.

Are you sure the other members significant other didn’t get their hands on it first and send it back?!?!
