USPS Rant

I sent a package via Ground Advantage on August 7th , it is going to northwest Indiana near Chicago. SO far it has jumped around between 4 different distribution centers in the Chicago area!!  IDK when they will send it to the local post office. The buyer just emailed me tonight asking about it. Super ridiculous.

One main hub is Glendale Heights in Illinois....if that is where it is  or going. Then off to northwest Indiana. Have to realize it is the weekend and there are less people working. Pretty sure its not lost.

There is an estimated shipping date for item to arrive. I wouldn't worry about anything until that date has come.

Looking at the tracking can be rather strange where it is and where it isn't yet.

It was at different facilities on the 8th, 9th, 10th, and 12th.  Palantine, Bedford Park, Fox Valley, Chicago. All of those were last week, and it was supposed to be delivered on the 11th. I don't see how it needs to keep transferring to all the distribution centers, any one of them could have sent it onward to Whiting, Indiana, which is right on the edge of Chicago. .

I had sent a package and a similar thing happened. It kept on bouncing around and after about a month it was finally shipped back to me. 

From what I can tell, my package got stuck somewhere with the mailing label face down on the conveyor belt which acted like a sander and rubbed most the recipients address off.
