My order is taking awhile

I ordered a Christmas present for my mom on the 7th and then it said that the estimated delivery was the 14th and has been at the same place since the 12th? And I am still waiting on it and hasn’t left the place since the 12th. I am getting very impatient.

With Covid and postal delays people have to learn to be patient. It will arrive so relax.

The USPS is running very slow and getting worse.  Just have to wait it out. Never seen it this slow. A lot more people shopped on line and there are a lot of parcels to deliver.

Many delays this year.

 

If my wife's Christmas gift does not arrive in time I will put a picture of it in her card.

 

She is an adult. Hopefully she will be able to handle the wait.  A child may not be as understanding.

@jesjes_godvy,

 

I shipped an item on Nov. 28, and it was delivered yesterday one state away.  However, both my state and the seller's had serious covid resurgences causing slow downs in the regional distribution centers. Be patient chances are it will make it in time to be given.

You can open an item not received in the resolution center at the bottom of the page:

 

Note the USPS is a mess and you have from the estimated delivery time of 30 days to file.

Re: My order is taking awhile

I totally understand how you feel,This year is a real mess with shipping times and delay's

This is happening to everyone,If you contact the post office and talk to them,they are going to explain they are shorthanded on help due to covid-19 and everything is backed up.

We are all waiting for everything from packages to be delivered to others WE HAVE SENT,and waiting for our own packages to be delivered to us WE HAVE BOUGHT

You are not alone,I hope it arrives for you soon

We are all in this together

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Alas!  There seems to be nothing happening in 2020 that is not cursed.

I'm wondering if the Mayan's calculations were not quite accurate and they mixed 2012 up with 2020 or perhaps it was the scholars that miss translated the text.  😉

Re: My order is taking awhile

It’s just crazy right now.

I ordered something around November 24th and it was supposed to be here by the 29th and I just now got it.

 

The package was ripped up and dirty. Looked like it had been run over. It had been placed inside another bag and there was a note of apology from the post office.

 

None of that was the sellers fault however. We had kept in touch and they were just as frustrated as I was as this was happening with several of their customers.

 

It’s just crazy times right now. I know it’s upsetting but try to be patient. I think buyers, sellers, and postal workers just need to try to get through this as best as we can and remember it will get better!

If you're tracking on eBay try the number on the USPS website, it may show a few more scans than eBay.  My average is 3 weeks for Priority at this time.

If I could give you a thumbs down for that reply I would.   INR is not intened for packages that are delayed especially considering the overwhelming shipping crisis.  It's inteneded for scamming sellers that are inept and truely do not ship the product.

It's been crazy with other shipping companies as well. I bought something that was supposed to come FedEx, overnight. It took a vacation in Florida, visited New Mexico, took a road trip to Green Bay before arriving at my house last Sunday, 21 days after purchase.

 

The best part? The seller lives about 3 hours south of me. We joked about meeting half way next time.
