USPS records delivery delays

Geez, guys, let's not go political and derail the conversation!

Right now, I'm crying in my coffee over my Fedex ground shipment that was supposed to land in Austin yesterday coming from a well known Kansas LP oligarchy.

Following Fedex updates, daily, I said to myself for most of the week, "it's still in Kansas, no way it's here by Friday." Well, 7pm on Friday evening Fedex changes status from "expected delivery by end of day" to "pending". An hour later, "expected delivery Sunday by EOD". Don't they understand that I'm supposed to be listening right now to Smokin' at the Half Note 45rpm?
Cheers,
Spencer

Disc Dogs went to the Dogs.Good luck though.

My LP via the USPS media mail is indeed arriving today, two days ‘early’. 
LA to Cleveland in 5 day via USPS media mail/Discogs. 

Not bad.

I find recently, that is more the norm for me than waiting weeks and weeks to get a package from Discog vendors (as it was a few months ago, but that wasn’t just media mail, but everything), again, as long as they don’t take days to actually get it into the USPS’s hands vs. sitting, awaiting to be sent.

I must say, given how much ‘we’ are getting packages through the USPS today, I’m surprised it isn’t a total train wreck. IMO, they seem to be doing a pretty good job overall in adjusting to the new reality of shopping on-line/mail delivery vs primarily brick and mortar. 

I think it all depends on where it is coming from. I receive some in about 7 days and other take more than 3 weeks.
When I check tracking some seem to sit a while in certain locations. Eventually  they all arrive.
If you need it faster just offer to pay first class.

Agreed. It's amazing that it works at all, given the volume.
