2 day delay on one of my purchases. I had a tracking number and it says delayed due to “weather or other delays”. Since I had a tracking number I was never worried.

Couple of my experiences in North Carolina: - Local letters (some just down the street) from USPS are sometimes taking upwards of 1 week to arrive. - I regularly get mail from Pennsylvania, and has been quite variable -- anywhere from on time, to a month delayed even for letters/envelopes. - Ordered a new computer, order was delayed significantly (almost 1 month) before anticipated ship date. Paid for overnight shipping, went out the door 6 days ago (still supposed to be overnight shipping), updated delivery is now two days from now. FedEx is the carrier on this one. So similar experiences here.

I haven't had any delays by USPS or UPS, but I've only ordered small stuff, except for a new office chair, which arrived on time.

We got a call from an unhappy customer this week. Their 4lb box was supposed to take 2 days and travel a whopping 250 miles. Instead it took 9 days and went from coast to coast and back.
We shipped it within 24 hours. Now I have a customer who says they won’t be reordering.

I ordered a fairly inconsequential car part from a vintage parts dealer in Latvia on April 6th. Still haven't seen it.
Dealer provided tracking showed they got it out fairly quickly and it hit Chicago in about 5 days, which is pretty good. Unfortunately, that's as far as it got. I started placed an inquiry regarding it and was told its stuck in customs somewhere.
Like I said, its an inconsequential item. If it shows up great. If it doesn't, I'm not going to sweat it.

Unexplainable delays with all carriers. most are just 2-3 days longer. I'm paying for 2 day shipping to make sure I get a chance at having it in less than 7 days.
USPS routes things thru distribution centers to even go to your next door neighbor FYI.

Frank. I sent a box USPS to the west coast from Ga. it made it to Or. , then Wa. , then back to Fl. before it got there in Vancouver, Wa. Literally went across the US 3 times. No wonder USPS is bleeding red ink. Username Protected wrote: I ordered a fairly inconsequential car part from a vintage parts dealer in Latvia on April 6th. Still haven't seen it.
