USPS Slooooow Delivery
Here's one for the record books...
In early November I sold a couple items to a customer in KY (I'm in FL). I shipped the item on 11/3 and it was at the distribution center in Cincinnati on 11/9. Since then this package has gone back and forth from Cincinnati to Pittsburgh with neither distribution center wanting to actually deliver it. It has been to Cincinnati 9 times and Pittsburgh 8 times.

I finally reached out to the USPS and they said they have flagged it to be pulled out of its endless loop. I'll believe it when I see it.
This is the kind of stuff that just makes me shake my head.

Yeah, I've been checking periodically.

I now have a Priority Mail package heading from southern Oklahoma up into Illinois. It took about four days to get to Tulsa and it is now in limbo for the better part of a week. So much for Priority Mail three-day delivery.
So it looks like things are slowing to a crawl everywhere.
The strangest one I just saw this morning. I had an Amazon package coming from the vendor by FedEx. When I checked the tracking this morning it stated that it had left for delivery at 10:08 PM. I am assuming that as soon as it got loaded in the delivery truck in Wichita Falls, Texas, that they recorded it as heading out for delivery. But is it possible they are sending delivery trucks out at that hour in the evening in an attempt to try and catch up with all the packages pilling up?
Thanks
If you paid via PayPal, open up a case with them (which can be done on the page for that transaction on the PayPal site), and regardless of how you paid, open up a ticket on this site using the 'contact us' button at the bottom of any page.

Good call, Jeri. Mine arrived the day after I posted. Only 13 days for my order!

Where could they be stuck?
