There was a mercury spill at the Warrendale, PA (just north of Pittsburgh) distribution center last week. The building is closed for clean up, and some packages are stuck there. I received several "your package is delayed" emails, and denise15601 spoke to her post office about this. It's unknown when the facility will reopen.
A woman whose husband works there posted this on Facebook: "I know they tracked down the package and it hadn't left the building. The package broke open and the mercury was tracked through the building and got on some of the machinery. Everyone had to leave their shoes there and drive home in paper booties and they are NOT getting their shoes back."
(side note: What kind of idiot sends mercury through the mail???)
Anyways, I hope this doesn't cause problems for any of your sales!

Thanks so much for posting this. No sooner had I read your post, I got a message from a buyer in PA asking where her package was since it was shipped on the 19th. I bet it's at this facility. Tracking says there was a delay but it is on its way.

Warrendale is my local sorting center. What I find strange is that my Sunday, Monday, Tuesday scans are all normal. Wednesday is when it starts showing “processing exception, other delay” and “package may be delayed due to weather or emergency situation”. My shipments have all been scanned there all week and don’t seem to be excessively delayed.
I’m just picturing them with fyre festival tents and sorting all of the packages in the parking lot. 🙃

It's good that it looks like things are still moving. Are you in the guaranteed delivery program by any chance? This could be an expensive problem for ebay if shipments are delayed very much. |

I just got off the phone with eBay and they had no idea of the plant closing down. They went ahead and refunded my buyer for the pants that she attempted to return to me.
The updated tracking info on USPS now just indicates that the package delivery will be delayed. She mailed them to me on March 15.
