I've been tracking several packages for about a week now. Saturday they were all in the local sorting facility with an estimated delivery date 1/8/2018. Just checked and they are now showing as processed through the originating Post Office. Just wondering if anyone else is seeing this.

I would just sit tight. The estimated delivery date is today. I think they are still playing catch-up from the holidays.

Yeah, I should have mentioned estimated delivery dates now range from 1/6/2018 to 1/13/2018. It hasn't been long enough to be concerned about the delivery dates, it's just the unusual information on the USPS tracking site. Unless all of the packages were returned to the originating PO, this seems odd to me.

I agree. We had a lot of packages take a lot longer than usual this Holiday season. I am not surprised the delays have continued into the new year.

Okay, I guess I'm the only one see this.

You are not alone. Packages have been sluggish.
I sent a priority 1000 miles, then sent a registered package the day after to the same address and the registered arrived two days before the priority. Usually there's nothing as slow as registered.

Registered is definitely the slowest, but tracked First Class is often not far behind in ancient hubs like Detroit.

Gripe of the day. I've always suspected this happens. I was expecting a valuable package (2 one ounce gold American Eagles) that was being sent priority mail Provided tracking showed it was due to be delivered today. I live on a cul-de-sac and happened to catch the mail truck as it entered. Anticipating the knock on the door I waited at the front window to head the carrier off before they knocked so the dogs wouldn't bark. Watched as the truck went around the block, and then to the bank of mailboxes that included mine. Truck passes my house and goes on to the next bank of mailboxes. I hurry outside and get my mail. Contained in my mail is one of those slips that say "Sorry we missed you, you can come to the post office or indicate another day for delivery." I hustle over to the mail truck and confront the mail carrier. She starts stammering and asking me if I was home yesterday (Sunday) then corrects to Saturday. (I know from the tracking that the package was in Memphis on Saturday, but don't mention this fact.) I tell her I'm retired and am almost always home. I get my package after signing for it. By the way, I'm also a stamp collector and I think the USPS does an awesome job considering what they're faced with.

First class tracking is my main mode of sending and receiving. To and from TPG'ers and when I buy on ebay. I was always amazed how you can just cut and paste your tracking number into your search bar and your USPS tracking information pops right up. Anyway, I was expecting a package one day. That morning, I pulled up the tracking website with my tracking number and it said: "Out for delivery". That usually means, it's on the truck and I would be receiving it that day. My normal mail carriers delivery time is about 1:00PM.....so I waited. My mail box is at the street, in front of the house. 1:15PM here he comes and my package! I saw him put the mail in the box and he left. So I walk out to the mail box.........no package! What the heck is this about?....I asked myself. I was a little bit concerned but said, okay tomorrow. Before I want to bed that night (about 11:00) I said; let me check the tracking website again just for the heck of it. The tracking said: "Delivered" What? Delivered? There's gotta be a mistake! Wait a minute, let me go out and check. So I went out in the pouring rain......the package was there! The mail carrier obviously came back before the end of his day, because that package was not there the first time! |

I sent two first class packages on different days from different locations and neither one has even entered the USPS tracking system and it's been almost a week. I'm trying to get in touch with USPS
