Title: Domestic Packages not showing up
Post by: truckin on February 17, 2012, 01:03 pm
Ive been expecting several parcels to arrive which were sent two weeks ago domestically and non of which have arrived all were small free samples which a couple vendors offerd to send out
im not sure what is going on they could just be delayed , misdeliverd , or returned to the sender
or could they have been confinscated
please let me know what you guys think is going on

Have you received other parcels from reputable vendors before? 
Sounds sketch to me.  Could be delays... samples aren't usually sent priority, rather snail mail.
Would ditch the box and get a new one.

Just checking that you didn't use a fake name or slightly wrong address did you?

I'm still waiting on several packages to arrive too if its any consolation, each is 7-9 days old, I think its the V-day rush clogging up the mail system, or maybe they are just in a busy week

Mine are delayed too, I think it's just the USPS sucking more than usual right now.

I ordered my first from Germany. Shipped on the 7th and still not here. I'm in the Western part of the US. Should I be concerned yet?

Reading this thread makes me feel a lot better.  I've got a pack coming from NL to US and it's been two weeks already!  Freaking me out man! 

But it seems like the post office is bending everybody over lately. Hoping I see something this week, it's got me spooked for sure!

I've received everything that I've ordered thus far. I'm waiting on two packages but it's only been a few days, I expect them tomorrow.
Ordering from foreign vendors definitely poses more of a risk, I've just ordered from the U.S.

This is my 5th pack from SR.  This is my 3rd international order.  The 1st one was from the NL and it came without a hitch in 7 days (including one weekend) The other from Canada which came the day after.  Other two were domestic orders.  One was even super obvious that something was in there and I received it ha.  So I have a feeling there's been a glitch in the mail matrix haha

Yeah my packages are NL>US, still waiting myself, also at 2 weeks, weird thing is Ive got packages from NL and Spain that arrived even though they were ordered and sent a few days after the ones I'm still waiting on, I guess there is/was a holdup in the mail somewhere localized or a certain batch/grouping, I'm not really sure how it all works so I couldn't say

Good luck at the mailbox today everybody

This has been killing me lately - the longggggg waits!!! BUT everything has shown up - inevitably when you stop hoping!! I wish shipping times didnt bog down my purchasing; not sure if its wiser to place larger quantities with one vendor or several smaller orders, different sellers, so I get SOMETHING in a timely manner!!

What was the longest you ended up having to wait?
