Even new shipments are experiencing problems, unless the things I think got picked up yesterday were stolen before the PO got here. I did not get a confirmation of the pick up until about 10pm, which means they just go in and mark it as picked up even if it wasn't. There were 3 Posh items and 3 ebay items, and none of them have been scanned yet. That does not mean they didn't get picked up. I get that all the time when I have a sub who doesn't know they're s'posed to scan both the pkgs AND the form. I also sometimes get one that says 'we couldn't find them' when the sub doesn't know how to do it right (but the pkgs have really been picked up). There's absolutely NO WAY I'd let anything go out without a scan right now. NO WAY! If I didn't have my scan for the one from 1/2, I'd be screwed. It's a 0 FB buyer too! No way she'd believe me that I really sent it.

A couple of times my packages were not picked up, but I still got the email saying they had picked them up. I talked to someone at the post office who told me that the email is sent automatically even if they weren't picked up. How helpful.

They need to scan a certain code on their P/U slip, that is what indicates the items are picked up. If that scan happens, then you get the normal email saying your items have been picked up. If that scan doesn't happen (even though they may have been picked up & all the items may have been scanned), you get the late email, that says 'we tried to do your p/u, but couldn't find the items'. The emails are different & they come at different times. It's all based on whether they scan their pick up sheet. Many of the sub carriers, EVEN the regular subs, don't know they're s'posed to scan the sheet too. They think scanning the items is enough.

It is true that on at least two occasions my packages were not picked up. Of course, they were not scanned since they were not picked up. It is also true that on those occasions I received in the evening an email saying that the pickup had been successfully completed. It is also true that I spoke to someone who told me that the email was generated automatically. I have never received an email indicating that they were unable to complete the pickup, either when they didn't pick up the items or they picked them up but didn't scan them. YMMV.

How bizarre. This is not post office dependent, that system is not per PO & I've delved VERY deeply into it. But yes, YMMV apparently.

My items finally got scanned in Cincinnati (no scan at my local PO) two days after I shipped. And the item I was waiting on made it to me (had been in Cleveland since Jan 1). I have 2 more to ship tommorrow, and as much as I would like to make sure they get scanned, I will still be putting them outside my door. I do not want to go in anywhere until I get my surgery done. Maybe I'll add a comment to the pickup request and ask them to be sure to scan them. I know my regular person does, but subs, not so much.

Welp, my last uncompleted delivery (from 1/2) just opened an INR. Damn Philly. Off to find the thread on how to appropriately deal with it.

My book from Amazon that was shipped USPS on 1/6 that made it from GA to Cleveland facility on 1/11 supposedly has been on it's way to the next destination (which should be my P.O. maybe 15 miles away) since 1/15 with no updates. I signed up for email updates which usually shakes packages loose, but this one is still in limbo.
Update, tracking has never changed and I never received the book so just contacted the seller for a refund. Looks like this one's truly lost or maybe mangled beyond recognition. It wasn't a lot of money, and if it ever does show up, I will contact the seller again to repay.
Ironically, the title of the book is, "Pursuing a Deeper Faith".

Well, my missing Philly Priority pkg, FINALLY arrived today! 1 month & 3 days after it was sent. Thankfully, due to constant communication with my buyer, she closed the case & is thrilled it's finally there. It was a gift for someone that she needed by 1/19. She decided to give it to her friend as a Valentines present.
It had had no updates since Jan 3 until Feb 2 (except for the cases I opened). Thank goodness I had an acceptance scan.

I forgot the check my little ID, and an order of eBay stickers that I mailed Jan 3 going to SC, went to SC, then to Atlanta. They have been stuck in Atlanta since Jan 15.
I called my PO and the clerk gave me a number for the Atlanta center. There was a long message about passports not being available and then said that my call couldn't be forwarded.
So I will mail out more stickers tomorrow.

I have one that appears to be completely lost. Shipped 12/24, last scanned in Illinois on December 27th. Opened a case with USPS and they closed it , said it was lost and file a missing mail inquiry? Okay?
Buyer really wants it and has not opened a case yet. It was insured. So Wednesday I'm filing an insurance claim. I keep reading how horrible delivery is with USPS. How DeJoy has trashed it. Just a terrible situation.

I read about DeJoy too. He can't be fired, but new people can be hired to try to put an end to the corruption and over-ride his evil.

I just received a Christmas card that was mailed on 12/9 from about 45 minutes away it went through Baltimore sort center. Our sort centers in Baltimore and the one near DC are horrible. I haven't received anything on time, everything is weeks and weeks delayed. Something needs to be done soon.

I just had a case opened on an item shipped 2/17. It is going Indiana to Utah. Ebay estimated delivery as 2/20. Lasted scanned in Indy 2/18. Buyer wants me to see if I can find out what is going on with it. Seriously. Across the top of the tracking it says Due to severe weather, packages may be delayed. I can't believe she can open a case for INR 5 days after buying something.

Shipping is still slow for me with USPS. I sold 4 Rae Dunn canister - 1 to one person and the other three to another buyer. Shipped priority last week with expected delivery last week - both still in transit arriving late. UGH!

I still have a package delayed since Jan 4. It was just eBay stickers, so I sent her another pack.

I've got a guy whining about his item not having any tracking movement since 2/12. He's in San Antonio TX of all places. Grrrr.

I made a purchase on the 16th coming from PA. Looks like it took a 5 day cruise to Puerto Rico before hitting Phoenix yesterday.

I've been lucky lately, been getting a lot of FB about how fast items are arriving. Keeping my fingers x'd it continues!

Over the past few months I have been replacing most all of the plasticware in my house with Tupperware. I am usually anti-MLM but I love me some Tupperware, lol. I had been on a Rubbermaid Brilliance kick but haven't been 100% happy with how it has held up.
Anyways, I ordered some Tupperware water bottles on a destash FB group. They are, of course, delayed! Shipped priority about 6 days ago from MD to NE. No updates after acceptance in MD except to say its late. I ordered some freezer containers from the same consultant back around Christmas and it took over a month to arrive priority.

Shoes coming from Bozeman - no scan since a week and a half ago. Amazon purchase scanned Jan 29 or so in Vegas. I am patient.

UGH, someone opened a case because they think their package is lost. Package is going to Indiana. I guess people don't pay attention to the weather delay warming.... or the news. So freaking annoying. So far I have two complainers but only one has opened a case, both packages have been stuck in NM since 2/13.
Been waiting on a pair of jeans from Banana Republic. Checked tracking just now. They were supposed to be delivered yesterday but looks like they're stuck in Smyrna TN.

Shipped priority about 6 days ago from MD to NE. No updates after acceptance in MD except to say its late. I ordered some freezer containers from the same consultant back around Christmas and it took over a month to arrive priority. If it originated in MD it is probably processing through either the Baltimore or Hyattsville sort center both of which have terrible delays. Hang in there everything seems to eventually get through there but it takes a few weeks. I was told the Baltimore sort center has at least 18 tractor trailer containers full of mail waiting to be sorted at all times. They work through some of the new and some of the oldest if time allows each day. I believe this because I will get a current piece of mail and a few very old pieces each day. All my mail passes through those centers and it is unbelievably slow for everything but on the good side it all seems to eventually get through, very late but here. The worst part is I live in Frederick and if you mail a letter from Frederick to Frederick, it goes to the Baltimore sort center and then back to Frederick. I had a letter from court house to my lawyer whose office is less than 100 steps from court house take 3 weeks to arrive. I am settling an estate and the mail has really hampered the situation, worst part was having mail redirected from both of MIL houses to my house so I can pay all the bills for both houses, it is quite the adventure, lol.

I went through and checked to see what packages still haven't been delivered. There are many... starting around 2/9. Fingers crossed that things start moving and tracking starts updating soon.

My Jan 4 shipment is stuck in Atlanta, GA. The brings back bad memories, since that is where the guy lived when he stole my ID. I recently did a search for him and can now see where he lived, and currently lives.
No idea if he ever got into trouble for scamming me or not. A 2 year nightmare for me.
But I digress......
