Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds USPS package delays

FYI: I been waiting for a large package that was Priority mailed 3 Dec and went into a regional facility 3 Dec. It has not moved since going into the regional facility. I requested an inquiry and they replied after the 2nd request that the package is delayed do to Covid. Another forum member has had the same thing happen, except his went into a regional facility 9 Dec and has not moved. If you need to mail a large package, you might want to consider an alternate carrier to the USPS.

I purchased some bullets off a member here on the Campfire. They were shipped on 12/5. They arrived at a USPS "facility" on 12/10 and have been sitting there since. They don't ID the facility but do say the delivery is en-route but will be delayed.

At least its not missing.

Man no kidding - I had a Priority 2nd Day stock disappear into the Greensboro facility on Dec 30. Filed a case, called several numbers / times and was never able to talk to human. It finally re-appeared last night and changed to 'left facility'.

yep shipped a stock 11/30 still in rout

My priority seconds day boxes have been taking a week.

^^^ This

I had an order of hardball alloy from Rotometals shipped the 4th. Still sitting in the facility. Probably the same one as above.

Which location is that?

Enough to drive a guy crazy huh? They should just charge a flat rate since they can't
seem to get stuff out on time, but are happy to charge for "priority".

UPS or forgedaboutit.

Had an 11/30 postmarked envelope arrive this weekend from 2 states away, and there’s been a package sitting in Atlanta since 11/28 just watching the tracking sit there. Keep buying those good ole USPS money orders!

Same shlt, different day......

Took 23 days for my last priority box to arrive.

Took 27 days for another.

I shipped one UPS yesterday...we'll see how that does.

Just frustrating that they put right on the tracking that there are delays do to Covid, then why do they charge you priority rates if they know it won't make it there on time.

Same here. Going on 2 weeks for some brass. I had no idea USPS was backed up.

I'm hoping a rifle that was mailed on 11/23 will be delivered to my FFL today. It should have been delivered yesterday so really it was only 3 weeks for 2-3 day priority. I shouldn't say anything yet....let's see if it's actually delivered today!

Basic envelope delivery is rather sketchy too. Been waiting over two weeks for an envelope to arrive that will consumate a deal made here in the classifieds.

The USPS has been terrible lately but for ME personally, I really don't have an alternative. No FEDEX or Speede shipping hub here and the little UPS store in town opens at 3:30 and closes at 5 and the line is usually outside and around the building. I go there one day at 4 and stood in line until 5 and then they closed. I had to go back again the next day and stand in line again before finally getting it shipped.

I'll say it again, everyone is using Covid and associated delays as an excuse not to do their job with due diligence. Imo

Same here. Who they going to blame next once covid is out of the picture, probably Trump

My package disappeared for several weeks, contacted USPS they told me to fill out insurance claim for reimbursement I did and after yet another week I got my insurance check.


then two days later the package was finally delivered to the east coast.
