Shipping delays

[The Tuul Crib 7,336]

Is anybody experiencing their orders off of eBay to be a little bit extended or late 

lately ? My last three shipments have been late. The Postal Service is a little slow these days and I wonder sometimes if it's actually due to the Covid thing.

It is not only Flea Bay , seems like stuff is being built to order . Placed an order for a high $ item on 7/3 /202o , still has not arrive . I get weekly updates from the vendor but no product yet.

Well Jim them little blue pills are not considered a high priority item!

Factories and shipping facilities have been forced to reduce staff to keep social distancing requirements. 

Less staff equals less output. Pure and simple. 

In the construction industry were finding all kinds of things being backordered or short ordered.... Or even cancelled.

IDK, I ordered an engine from one place and some mower blades from another & they both came a day early.

Shipped an item to New York, got lost for about a week then they found it, now appears to be lost again.

What bugs me is you see on the tracking numbers it says unknown location.. 
Where is. Unknown?

Not yet Jim. I'm betting on tomorrow.

Been trying to find a new fridge for a couple months.    If you don't want white, black, or SST, forget it.     Of course Mrs. K needs almond or the biscuit color.   How many rattle cans will I need?

 

On a positive note,  when I place my monthly order for my OTC free medical supplies from MEDLINE, they are on the porch within 24 hours.

Yes...I ordered mower blades for one customers mower, and a carburetor for another customers tiller over a month ago...still haven’t seen either one of them. 
 

But I have purchased several die cast tractors over the past couple months and they have all arrived right on time...so I’m not sure that the postal system is the problem

Been waiting for some mush masks for over a week.

Used the same address and PayPal on FleaBay for years, now I get this twice when I ordered some hard to get parts:  The seller canceled this order due to the following reason: Something was wrong with the buyer's shipping address.

You know. "From parts unknown" 

 

[squonk 41,022]

It's really tough on a repair business getting parts. My local HVAC supplier has cut inventory way back. I have to drive 30-40 miles one way to the city for a simple fan motor.

Not everything is delayed, my wife has been ordering fabric from an seller in MS and gets here two days later.           Guess we need to put down the wrenches and begin quilting!

It’s just one mans dream of bankrupting a great American institution. The new postmaster general is just a con/pawn in this mans plan .

 

The "great American institution" has been a bankrupt swamp for many years.  If you want the status quo, write your congressman and demand to pay taxes to keep their pensions intact.  The big push for mailing ballots belongs in a third world country.

retract my post as I see where this is headed and I’ll be voting by mail as I’ve done since my accident but again maybe I shouldn’t as I just received (Aug 5) a envelope that was mail on July 27 and it’s only a hour and a half drive .

Not just experiencing SLOW deliveries, but also ROUTING ERRORS.   I shipped 2nd day Priority Mail from southeastern Pennsylvania a week ago to Cincinnati, Ohio.   It has been bouncing back and forth between two different terminals in Ohio for a week now.   Makes you suspect that someone in sabotaging the system.

I ordered a snap ring pliers set that came out of California back on the 25th. And has come to a screeching halt in Memphis. It hasn't moved for four days. Maybe Elvis has 

something to do with it!!
