delivery was delayed, even tho it had guaranteed overnight delivery date. any cause for concern?

i recently purchased a package through a DNM using a reputable vendor. the package was scheduled for delivery on the 7th sent via priority mail express with a 'guaranteed or your money back delivery'. i checked the tracking on the day of delivery and it said it was on its way to final destination. i checked again some time later and it now says 'arrived at local post office new delivery date 8th'. so it was delayed a day for some reason even tho it was suppose to be a guarantee delivery date and already on its way to final destination.

is any of this cause for concern? i imagine the last thing i should do is enquire with the shipper to see what the status is or the cause for the delay but i am tempted. im worried that the delay is meaningful beyond just logistics, like they could suspect something. i know no one can say for sure the reason, but can anyone advice based on prior experience? thank u

This happens all the time. It's why I never spring for overnight delivery.

Actually you know I had that happen..package got to the PO on time and all and the tracking changed and said delivery date updated to the next day..and about 10 minutes later my express carrier dropped it off..I asked the carrier about it...but she had no idea why it did that.

I had one mailed out last Thursday that just came yesterday. I'm also not posting this from jail so I wouldn't stress it...

I haven't had the luxury yet of freaking out over a DNM order but coming from other previous postal shenanigans that I had nothing to do with, I can assure you the last thing you wanna do is call them.

Anyways general consensus is you're gonna be alright so I think you will be too. But seriously don't call, these kinds of things you just gotta let go and move on from. Calling about a suspicious package is well... suspicious...
