I had a delivery was supposed to arrive 12/23 and tracking hasn't been updated since 12/19. I opened a case number with USPS, package is insured. Anyone else ever deal with this? Could it be just a holiday delay?
Pissed because I'm losing mining time and have some BTC tied up in the damn package...

I work with a company that ships a lot of packages, pm me the tracking number, and I can contact our rep at USPS, and see if there is an issue

Most likely holiday delay, you can call them if it's been a while.

USPS is really good at losing packages. It's a good thing it was insured because it is probably gone.

Thing that sucks is their online claim form wants a receipt or proof of purchase... This was paid for in BTC, ones ore layer of complexity... |

I had a package that was promised by the 24th and it disappeared from tracking since the 20th (like 20miles away). This package was completely unrelated to BTC, but I think they took on more then they could handle this year >.<

It will probably show up any day now. I had a package that didn't show any tracking progress for over a week, then after I sent them an email the information got updated. USPS uses FedEx planes for shipping their packages but the holiday season meant there wasn't any room left so USPS has to send their packages over the road which seems to take forever.

Thanks, I'll try to remain optimistic. The woman at the local post office said give it until Monday... |

UPS and FedEx have been catching hell for a LOT of late deliveries that missed Christmas deadline. UPS and Amazon are offering partial refunds: http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/amazon-ups-offer-refunds-for-christmas-delivery-problems/2013/12/26/c9570254-6e44-11e3-a523-fe73f0ff6b8d_story.htmlAmazon.com and United Parcel Service said Thursday that they would offer refunds to customers who did not receive their Christmas orders on time, after a larger-than-expected surge in last-minute online shopping caught the shipping giant off guard.
Customers who failed to get their deliveries by Christmas Day will get $20 gift cards and refunds on shipping charges, Amazon said. UPS also offered refunds on shipping costs. FedEx did not promise refunds but said it would work with people affected. I hope that's the only thing delaying your order. The *worst* possibility? Do a Google News search for "UPS FedEx stolen off Porch" to see dozens of stories from all around the country of thieves following parcel delivery trucks on their routes and stealing the delivered items right off the porch where they had been left! |

Do a Google News search for "UPS FedEx stolen off Porch" to see dozens of stories from all around the country of thieves following parcel delivery trucks on their routes and stealing the delivered items right off the porch where they had been left! We've got a doorman 24/7 that handles all packages, no porch here... I heard a lot about Fed Ex and UPS issuing apologies but nothing about USPS, which made me think they maybe didn't have problems. However, it seems increasingly clear that it's just USPS style to not own up to it, or anything. I had a USPS customer rep ASSURE me that my package was at the post office down the street on 12/23. So first thing in the AM on Christmas Eve I went there. The woman behind the counter told me not only did they not have my package, but that their location doesn't receive ANY packages, ever. She said the closest place that might would be a sorting facility on the other side of town, and basically the customer service rep fucking straight up lied to me. The moron at the call center said she could see on her screen where it was, I've talked to 4 people since then who have indicated she lied. It got escalated, in a perfect world they find her and fire her fucking ass because a loser is a loser, PUT THAT COFFEE DOWN! Oh, have I got your attention now? |

Tracking finally updated, the bums haven't even gotten it out of the origin state yet. At least it's back on the radar, delay definitely blows though.

Actually that happened to a package I was sending.
When the recipient got it, it appeared that part of the package was missing (ie, some stuff was stolen)

Wow! That truly sucks. I guess the best that can be said is that it hasn't been stolen, or lost forever... I hope they get it to you pronto! |
