package delay

mailed 10/26/2020, when to copell, took 2 days to get out of Copell Texas, This was priority mail $8.30 flat rate small package and it arrived in the city I sent it and its still not delivered.  what did I pay 2 days shipping for? this is the latest status "Your package will arrive later than expected, but is still on its way. It is currently in transit to the next facility." This is **bleep**.

package delay

I had a lot of delays a couple weeks ago. There are a lot of ballots in the mail stream on top of some tactics by the Postmaster General to slow mail. I had some 2 days taking up to 8 days to reach their destination which honestly is probably better than some on here. 

 

The weirdest ones were ones that hit a different facility without a tracking update and must have got hand sorted so they resumed tracking once they got to the destination PO.

With millions and millions of voters voting by mail in the middle of a pandemic when the postal service is NOT at full speed, this just doesn't seem to be an unusual occurrence.

This is happening to pretty much everyone, lots of posts on here about it. The election is slowing down the mailing due to mail in ballots on top of other issues. Really nothing you can do except be patient and wait it out. Think positively that your package will arrive soon and it will all work out. Best of luck to you....

I didn't have any problems with my shipments until October 20 shipments. Several are just sitting at posts offices and I have several where is my package cases open. My postal guy said they are overwhelmed with mail in ballots and they said they are the priority right now. I totally understand that but as a seller it makes me very worried about these packages that are just sitting.

 

So far my buyers have been very understanding.

Go to the USPS then Tracking site.  Put in the tracking # and request emails.

This will usually break things free.
