"In transit, arriving late"
I have 10 USPS packages inbound........Christmas etc. All 10 are delayed, not just delayed but full stop no movement for days. Curious with a new wrinkle this morning, now they are painting the in transit ball red.

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.

Re: "In transit, arriving late"
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.

Those Transits must be the slowest vans around! I wonder why they don’t use Sprinters instead.

Delay after delay after delay
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.

Re: "In transit, arriving late"
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).
