Priority Mail Box 7

[wastingtime101]

I haven't been able to stock PM Box 7 in months. The last order I got was in October and every order from November onwards has not been filled.

I remember that @fern*wood was having the same issue as me. I placed another order on Jan 13 for this box and checked on the status just now.

It shows "processing" within the order, but on the activity history page it's marked "order complete." That's not good news. I wonder how long it will take for them to get these back in stock. I'm going to place yet another order since the last one failed. Again.

Has anybody been able to get these recently?

I know Groundhog Day is coming up, and it's fun watching Bill Murray, but I don't want to live it USPS-style.

[fern*wood]

Yep, still waiting.  I've ordered them 4 times now and received nothing.

[wastingtime101]

Of course I get a shipping alert this morning for orders placed in December and January @fern*wood.  I can't find a way to cancel the order placed last night. I'm going to end up bringing them to the local PO for having too many.

Wish I didn't place that order last night, but I was going off the orders having a "completed" status but not shipping. The Dec order was marked complete for a full month, the Jan order for a week. I've seen that happen many times before, but it has only happened when they never filled the order.

[fern*wood]

Great news--send me some!  I rushed over to look at my orders and they all are still stuck on completed but processing.  I hope to receive some too.  I'll keep all the orders if I ever get them, but I'm sure the post office would appreciate them too.

[fern*wood]

Well, I just placed another order.  I still have no movement on my others back to early December.  I tried ordering a pack of 10 this time to see if I could get a crumb sent my way.

[wastingtime101]

My newest order hasn't shipped yet, and the others will probably be in transit for another week or two so it will be interesting to see what happens.

If the newest order doesn't ship for a while yet then I'll be glad I placed it when I did, but if it ships really soon and I have more boxes than I can physically store, I'll probably see if another local seller needs them before bringing any back to the PO. I'm assuming lots of people are having trouble getting them so I'd rather post them as a freebie on a local site and help someone out if I can't swing the storage space.

@wastingtime101, @fern*wood 

And I'm sitting on several that I'll never use... which means about half-dozen. I always return my overflow, too, but not lately.

[fern*wood]

Did you get your boxes?   No progress on any of my orders.

Dec 23rd order shipment notice 1/25, scanned into system 1/27 at my local sort facility, nothing since.

Jan 4th order still processing

Jan 13th order delivered today!

Jan 25th order still processing

I didn't go back further than a month, but I think the November order is a goner @fern*wood.

Okay, totally ignorant Aussie here, I have never known there was an actual ground hog day - seriously, all these years since the movie came out, I just thought it was a name of a movie - just googled it and wow, who knew 😙

[Be kind, I admitted I am Australian]

[fern*wood]

Yep, definitely Groundhog day here.  Still no boxes and no progress.  The last ones I received were in August. 

Glad you got some wastingtime!

[wastingtime101]

Groundhog Day is a day that means absolutely nothing @downunder-61. I think little kids are the only ones that think groundhogs can actually predict the weather.

Although I did just look up the history and, 'who knew' is right ...

Finally, #7 boxes have entered the building---took 2 months.

[wastingtime101]

Looks like I'm getting the rest of my #7s today.

[wastingtime101]

Hey @fern*wood, have you noticed quality issues with your new shipment of #7s? All the recent shipments I got are having issues where the cardboard tears along the fold lines when you fold the flaps to shape the box, exposing the brown center along the edges.
