"In transit, arriving late"

I am waiting on a delayed package for my daughter's Christmas gift. Expected Monday, then yesterday, now 4 days late... I hope it arrives today.

Tracking said it was moving in the correct direction, but I am convinced it is random numbers.

Yes, a lot of that going around.

Well I'll be, I have a reddie too. Lets blame the Kung Flu.

Well, also same goes for me up here too. My 3D printer also shows a similar delayed arrival with no estimate of arrival either. Looks like we're all in the same boat.

Misery loves company guys. Thanks I am not alone!!!!!!!

Wonder why though. Christmas isn't yet in full swing, and UPS, FEDEX, DHL are handling most of the Covid vaccine.

Guess I got lucky....ordered a plane from Horizon on Wed. ....arrived Fed Ex Sat. A.M.!

Seriously, got these today Carlisle KY to my town 6:26 hours away "light traffic" mailed November 23rd.  18 days. Conestoga wagons in the 1820's were faster.  




Seems like over night the USPS hit a stone wall.

Been waiting on a engine (Enya 049 Reed diesel) since November 9th and should have been delivered November 20th.
Have that red dot in the "In Transit" part. Coming from Germany.
Thought the guy that I purchased the engine from stiffed me? Paid through PayPal under merchandise (not family & friends)


Now looked up the other engine (Enya 08 - NIB) and that has the same shipping problem.


Everything got the covid-19 virus (it has to be quarantined for a few weeks.
The vaccine has taken over the shipping lanes.

This notification is on the USPS web site: "ALERT: USPS IS EXPERIENCING UNPRECEDENTED VOLUME INCREASES AND LIMITED EMPLOYEE AVAILABILITY DUE TO THE IMPACTS OF COVID-19. WE APPRECIATE YOUR PATIENCE AND REMAIN COMMITTED TO DELIVERING THE HOLIDAYS TO YOU."

BUT, of course AMAZON packages are being delivered on Sundays!!!

I can understand that.

Wonder how they are working it......first in last out, first in first out. A few of mine have been stuck in one place for days. Priority seems to make no difference.

Jason,
You could have Driven down the Tollway towards Chicago, Then gone to Chrystal Lake.
Picked up your order and be back in less that 8 hours.

I have been up in your area many times (Road America) for motorcycle (road) racing.
Was a racer for a few years (1986 -1991) and a member of WERA (Western/Eastern Road racing Association).
Still have my race bikes (RGV-250 Gamma and RG-500 Gamma).

Pony express DID have more than one horse!!.....and were way more reliable!
