    Is anyone else having issue with the USPS? I ordered two differnet things from two companies I buy a lot from. Both were shipped on the 18th. They always arrive at my house 2 days later. for example, Ship on Monday, here Wednesday. When I track both packages, both say there still at the sort facility. Both packages are coming from the North East...maybe there is an issue up there. Just wondering why they have stayed at the sort facility that long? One of the guys that I got a package coming from said he's had the same issue with it in the sort facility for 2-3 days.

    Thanks!

    Been waiting on some Monster Raxx I thought would be here by now...but I havent tracked or anything. Not sure if/when they were shipped, just figured they would be here. Thankfully, its not anything Im in a major rush to get.

    The weather may be a factor if its coming from the northeast.

    Just because there is no updated scan does not mean they are still in that facility. I would double check and make sure they were sent priority. If the items are big and heavy there is a chance they were sent standard post, which would certainly explain the longer transition time.

    Yes, I had two on order last week that took way longer than they should.

    Historically USPS tracking system isn't as detailed anyway.

    I have customers 2 states away that are waiting for their packages. But 6 states over got theirs already.
