Title: USPS domestic shipping problems???
Post by: JamesTaylor on February 21, 2012, 10:22 pm
Hey guys, first post here. Love the site and looking into getting my first purchase soon. Anyways to my main point. My friend shipped me a care package last Tuesday(feb14) from new hampshire to Florida. The package hasnt arrived as of today(feb 21) I was wondering if any of you guys have experience a long delay with your packages. As of right now i pretty much gave up on the package. Should I be concerened that they found it? it was Less that 1/2, so im not too worry.  Maybe its not here bc of a delay bc of Valentines day??

Any insight with be helpful!


Keep on smiling.

It seems like there has been a huge delay all over the place.  I've even seen people who are waiting for packs that are from EU to EU that are taking 10 days!! As far as I know that's unheard of!  So I'm guessing Valentine's Day has everybody beside themselves freaking out. 

Only time will tell.

I've been waiting on many packages that should have normally arrived by now.
I am hoping that it is due to USPS shipping delays and not anything concerning me.

Im hoping that its because of the recent hoildays. All we can do is just wait and hope that Usps is just being slow as fuck.

Well guys still no luck with my package. Looks like the assholes from the usps, either took it or it got lost in the mail. Its been almost two weeks since it was shipped out from  New hampshire. My question is if i was suppose to receive a letter(contraband letter)   from the usps do they hand deliver it or just regular mail. Also i was thinking about putting in my first order on SR tonight. But now i am worried about my address being flagged.  So what do you guys think?  Maybe it still has a chance of coming in???

I just posted a thread addressing my issue but i've had 2 packages shipped domestically in the last 5 days, both haven't arrived, and the one with the DCN says that it was out for delivery in the morning and then delivered to me 5 hours ago.. I was home all day and nothing came- at all.

What should i do? Go to the PO tomorrow? or wait and see if the 'delivered' one just magically shows up?

They weren't big or conspicuous packages at all either but my name wasn't exactly as it always is.

Should i be worried?

Be patient and wait it out. Even if it says it was delivered, it is not always correct.
I wouldn't worry just yet.

Thanks mate- I did actually see 'a' mailman walk right by my house and past all the other houses on my side of the street a bit later than they usually deliver, and i didn't see a usps truck where they normally park to walk around to deliver. So i'm hoping the whole day was kind of just messed up.. for some strange reason.. but yeah, really hope you're right (as i start thinking about wiping everything for prints)  :o

Guys the USPS is having a major shutdown of alot of facilities and the processing time for mail will increase by 3-5 day. First class mail has gone from 1-3 days to 3-5 days. Sit tight; it'll show up.

Thanks for the info man. On tuesday it will be two weeks since it was originally shipped from New Hampshire. Do you think that the hold up is from the facilities?? or am i pretty much fucked and they seized the package. I am not worried about the police or anything. I just want my god damn package  8)

Sorry for the repeated question's. I just wanna hear ppl's insight
