[GeneralQuestions] First Class shipping delays this month?

Hey Everyone,

Colorado here with a quick question for all you buyers and vendors.

Over the past two weeks or so I have had a large number of first class orders taking an exceptionally long time in the mail to reach their destination.

While all packages inevitably show up, a handful of them have taken over 7 business days.

Has anyone else experienced slow first class shipping within this past month? It would be nice to know that I am not alone here.

-CO

Waiting two weeks priority mail coast to coast. Hasn't been updated in that time period either.

Most of the country has been getting shit on by snow all winter if you haven't noticed. That definitely has something to do with it.

I ordered something recently with first class and it took 7 days. In the past orders from this vendor has always taken 2-3 days.

Yes for both types of shipping.

I ordered a package last Tuesday and it still isnt here, I checked the tracking and USPS said that it was delayed and my package ended up going on a crazy route. So ya :(

I ordered first class from your state last week and received in 3 days from about 4 states away to the east.

I also ordered from somewhere a little further away from your state and its going on day 7.

my order was shipped out on the 14th, something that usually takes 2 days to get to me is now on its 4th day. Checked tracking and its in my state, will be here tomorrow.

Not alone at all, first class and priority are going slow ATM. Stay cautious but I wouldn't sweat the slow shipping times as of right now.


[2 Points] DNMd:

Yes. Waiting on 2 packs (USA to Canada) ordered on the 7th and 9th.

And 2 more from the week before those just showed up today.

Also noticed that my regular packages have been taking a long time too. The only things I've received "on time" have been from within my province.


[2 Points] Dextril:

You're not alone, I'm still waiting on a first class order that was ordered 2 weeks ago.


[2 Points] DNMThrowawayyfoe:

Okay. Did anybody NOT have any shipping delays? I'm hoping everyone in this thread is just a loud minority considering I just placed an order.


[2 Points] None:

If it's USPS their overall delivery time has been awful since the beginning of the year, something about restructuring how it works or some bullshit.

When I asked about it, a USPS employee told me to complain to my local congressman to get things changed, so I have a feeling it has something to do with USPS loosing money.

I'd gladly pay more in taxes alone to get faster service and Sunday post.

Thank you for bringing this topic up. I think it's good that as a vendor you have kept your customers informed about the delays. I had a first class order with BV that took 7 days to get to me. Thankfully, BV was on point and kept their customers informed about these delays by making an announcement about it on their profile. It is definitely usps dragging and not vendors, just so all you impatient buyers know. My BV pack said it was shipped the day they marked it shipped, proving that usps is lacking once again. So all you impatient buyers keep this in mind!

If I lived in CO i would drive it out of the state not ship it. It sketches me out how now every package from CO has a picture taken of it and is recorded. If they find one pack and choose to let it go through (usually causing a slight delay) they can just watch you drop them down while they go back through your shipping history and find the other similar looking packages to screw you on. They all come straight until they don't... You can never be too paranoid in this business, watch your back. if you see anything unfamiliar stop shipping before you ruin your life. My friend was too late and careless to tell his connect that his boxes were showing up without the shipping label... He later saw them in court as evidence.

Was wondering the same, have something coming and it shipped out 6 days ago [including sunday and monday], still nothing, hopefully just the mail being slow


[1 Points] bluesmachine22:

bumping with a shipping delay from the 6th but it was overseas


[1 Points] nsfwoygf:

Word I was wonderin bout this too. Letters from fam and that sort of shit have been taking a really long time and they only live a few hours away. A vday card from a freind 6 hours away has taken like 5 days already.

Well this makes me feel a ton better. I had a first class delivery from CO shipped 2/11 and didn't receive it yet. Still going to be paranoid and on edge with the mail until I get it, but at least I'm not alone here. Thanks for letting us know you're aware, CO.

Lol I notice a lot of people here saying "don't worry it will come fine it's just a delay because of the storms". I have to admit guys IMO that is hilarious. My pack man stated this to me very clearly. Any time you're pounds of weed are sitting in the post office is bad for you and your package. My high school friends dad is a postal worker and i was told by the man himself that they have a K9 come once a week. So guys you tell me, shipping delay or not do you want your illegally trafficked drugs marked to your name sitting there? Fuck no! Who cares if you alcohol washed your vacuum seals and what stealth you use. Noone is stopping the inspectors from saying "oh wow this nice large priority mail box seems nice and light, oh would you look at that it's from California, let's scan it real quick". Keep your drugs on the move constantly! I'm so paranoid about shipping delays its ridiculous because if the package isn't in your hands you want it in there's for as little amount of time as possible. My 5p package got sniffed out when it had to get redelivered and was sitting in the post office but that was my friends fault for trying to send it to his grandmas for sale address. Then my guy had to dip to goddamn Canada for months because they followed him everywhere he went and called him anonymously several times trying to get info out of him. Don't take this stuff lightly people. You are risking your livelihood doing this no matter what and if YOU were drugs in the post office you would shitting your pants everyday extra you were left there. Think in perspective people.
