I just had to locally do a curbside to replace a package for my nephew that shipped 12-3 and has not moved. I have to drop it with my parents tomorrow. That was Amazon. Have another for my niece from another store tgat shipped on the 5th and us in the same boat.
Mailed a payment for an item I bought here via USPS First Class Parcel yesterday. We will see how that goes.

I had a package stuck at the Richmond USPS hub for 8 days. It finally left the hub last night and was delivered to my house today. In speaking with my mail lady she told me the workers at the hub have a choice of whether they want to come to work or not. Covid laws are allowing them to keep their jobs.
Thanks, Dinny

I just received this email update from the USPS: "Your package will arrive later than expected, but is still on its way. It is currently in transit to the next facility." On 12/16/20 the package left the sorting facility and had to travel 1.5 miles to the local post office. That would be 1.5 miles in 3 days.

I have a guy waiting for a package that was sent 12/3. I am waiting for one that was shipped 11/30. They must be WALKING these things across the country!
I am always looking for factory wood stocks!

Sent a package on 12/09 to MikeL2 in Watertown NY. It arrived in Syracuse on the 15th and hasn’t moved for 4 days. When I talk to usps, they say be patient, we are short staffed everywhere!! Pay for 3 day service, but takes 2 weeks to get there. Sent my nephew a ground blind on Amazon from Wisconsin to Vermont via ups on 12/14, it arrived today, in just 5 days. Have to start thinking about using UPS from now on.

Look at it this way.
If every piece of mail that USPS deals with is considered an item then they move so much more schitt than UPS and Fed Ex move combined.
Packages can be scanned but individual letters/envelope aren't, those are hand sorted. No wonder they are way behind at this time of year.
I am sure there are more packages shipped this year due to the pandemic, people aren't traveling so they are probably overloaded. I have had 2 guns take a bit to get here but realize the reality of the situation.
The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!

Had a Colt Python sent to me on 12/11 via 2 day priority, arrived 12/17. Not the worst wait in the world but was on pins and needles due to the nature of the contents.

My dealer has a rifle inbound for me that has sat in the Springfield, MA hub for 10 days now. What concerns me most is that it was shipped from Bob's Guns (first name changed to protect the innocent) and it's in a long slender box. How do we know when it has gone from delayed to stolen? Just think of the extra time a seasonal worker has to steal something, call off work due to COVID, then disappear.

If they did, well.... I typically misspell “Guns” if making a label and use “GNS” instead. Just a little “typo”.

257 - I only wish every "Bob" would do the same. The business accounts some dealers have lists their full business name. In this case it is his first name and the word Guns. I didn't know the name of the dealer the seller was using until after I was notified of shipping.
Thanks, Dinny

I'll say it again, everyone is using Covid and associated delays as an excuse not to do their job with due diligence. Imo I would like to respond to this, just to let you know and others we are working SEVEN TWELVES ! Diligence ? what more would you like us to do ? You have covid , workers getting sick having to quarantine then to top it off CHRISTMAS ! AND every tom dick and harry ordering everything on line. I my self have a package out there somewhere, I would like to also add that the mail is mostly moved by contractors. THIS IS THE PERFECT STORM

I shipped 2 barreled actions to Pac-Nor 12/7, arrived in Seattle 12/15, shows in transit and late delivery. No idea where they actually are. Damn glad I put insurance on them.

I mailed a NIB Rock River LAR-8 to Centerville Texas 11/27 from Colorado Springs and it has never been scanned beyond the first Post Office in the Springs (Antares Station). Postal Inspectors will not return my calls. On the 27 of December I will file a claim for the insurance!

I've noticed that retailers such as midway and amazon are right on time. Normal individual shipping is delayed big time. UPS or USPS aren't going to take the chance on loosing business from the retailer.
