My problems come from international mainly. Had an item shipped from Australia and it sat in San Fran for over 3 week before it ever moved, it finally shows it moved and hopefully it will be here in a day or so. I also shipped a package to Australia and the seller still hasn't  received it, the tracking # shows it is in Australia but is just sitting there. Don't know if packages have to be quarantined for a few weeks when they arrive from outside the country or not.

It's been very hit and miss for me. Last month I had a package from France that shipped on 8/4, was in my hands 8/11. Only €20 for a two pound box so it wasn't any super fancy service. It's a mystery.

Most of mine have been fine.  A few had a week delay here or there.  The one exception has been this one:

Canada Post - Track a package by tracking number / Postes Canada - Repérer un colis au moyen du numéro de repérage

Shipped on May 11th then got lost May 14th.  I was in the process of finalizing a claim in July when a random update got posted July 11th (doesn't say its moving just got processed in Chicago) then nothing again until Aug 13 delivered.   Normally I get a lot more updates on leaving one facility going to another, etc.

I found the original shipping email, the estimated delivery was Monday, July 20, 2020.

Wow, I was just about to express amazement about receiving a package on 1/8/21 that was shipped domestically on 12/6/20 .... but now I feel fairly fortunate

rmeints wrote in Anyone else having issues with USPS?:Media Mail has been a real wild card when it comes to shipping times. We've had lots of our customer orders arrive on time, some a week or two late, and some are stuck in limbo after X number of weeks. There's no discernible pattern to it, and ultimately frustrating. At least, thus far we haven't had too many lost shipments that we had to replace.

Fortunately, Priority mail shipments have been much less of a problem, and usually get there basically when they should.

I seem to remember someone who regularly convinced sellers of large lots to use Media Mail to ship to him, and than claim the stuff didn't arrive and get his money back through his CC or PayPal. So much so he get a reputation for it. And still the muppets would ship to him.

I used Cougie Mail once on a job lot from the US to the UK, and it took 12 weeks to arrive, saving me about $50 which is probably like $100 now.
Never did it again, and never will.

Fedex 2-day is about $5 more expensive overall, with a much higher starting price. Its worth every dime.

I’m seeing at least a 1 month delay on shipments from Europe (to the U.S.).  I’ve experienced lesser delays with UK to US shipments.

I've had about 10-15 shipments sent or received over the past several months with only one obviously delayed shipment.  However, none of them have been international shipments.
