Anyone else not having a delay in their shipments?

[nee_nee27]

So as strange as this may be, all of the shipments I’ve made during this holiday season have arrived in the normal shipping time. Anywhere from 3-6 days. I haven’t had ANY delays, and used USPS for all of my shipments.

On the other hand, I have packages that I ordered the first week of December (from non-eBay stores) that still have not arrived. 

Has anyone else not been affected by the shipping times. I honestly was not expecting my recent sales to have delivery dates before Jan 1, so this has been surprising.

3 negative reviews in the last year, you keep up the good work!! Weird how me not having shipping issues got under your skin.... seen like you have bigger issues than I do at the moment.

For you to imply I have no empathy would mean you know my feelings or emotional state. Since you don’t know my feelings or emotional state, you’re simply assuming. No where in the post did I boast or say I didn’t feel for those who are struggling. And like other respondents I am not the only one who is not having shipping issues. Instead of projecting your frustration, read a post for what it is....

And again you did use karma incorrectly.... a dictionary can give you the definition.

One of the closest hub where I live recently was getting flack for packages sitting for 3+ weeks. Strangely enough it’s only the package I’m receiving that was impacted by the delay. The outgoing shipments moved right through.

Well, one big difference is that in June the Post Master General implemented a slew of significant changes that he says are intended to stabilize the Post Office. Those changes reportedly included crackdowns on overtime pay and curtailing late trips for mail carriers, as well as a huge overhaul leadership (which included letting go lots of employees) . He admitted that those changed caused “unintended consequences that impacted our overall service levels." Changing all of that during a pandemic, AND with the holidays right around the corner - he knew what he was doing (in my opinion). I don’t blame the local workers at all. We actually had people delivering / driving in our area on Christmas. Sad to say....

I’ve heard that from other people as well. It’s the priority or expedited packages that are getting places much slower

Geesh, I wish I was among the "lucky ones".

Breaking record here- shipped out Dec 3rd, as of Dec 26th- still in transit. OH to TX, Priority; Dec, 3rd-shipped out, as of Dec 26th-still in transit. OH-NJ, First Class.

On the other hand- most packages shipped out Dec 12 and later either delivered or about to be delivered.

No thx. Karma will get ya! I got no doubts whatsoever. 

Enjoy it when it bites ya in the ***.

Your 100% wrong about me being frustrated. I'm good. Selling for 20 yrs and I go with the flow.

Your ignorance to ebay sellers situations shows your lack of emotion. That's how I see it and so did others. So be it.

Enjoy your no INRs. You've been blessed by ebay and USPS gods. Pat yourself on the back and go rub one out.

     Consider yourself fortunate up to this point. A lot of sellers are experiencing delays. Personally I pulled all my listings the last week of November except for a few I already had bids on and will not start selling again until the postal situation clears up. 

     As for purchases I do very little online buying simply because I can generally find it for less in a B&M store and I don't have to worry about the shipping or damage in transit. The few items I did order online varied depending on the vendor. Some arriving on time others delayed anywhere from day's to weeks. I purchased nothing from any eBay seller or site for the holidays.

Both USPS & eBay admit there are major problems.  eBay isn't offering the extra protections to sellers for no reason. That's not how they operate. The issues with the USPS delays have even made the national news this week.
