Vender claiming extreme shipping delays?

I ordered a small, personal amount of weed 8 days ago, and still haven't received it. According to vendor, the order was marked as "shipped" within 12 hours, and shipped via USPS Priority, which was listed as being 2-3 day shipping. After 6 days of no package, I messaged my vendor asking what was up, considering my order was about to auto-FE if I didn't report a problem with my order. My vendor (very big name, domestic US) replied saying that he had heard reports of long carrier delays, and to give it a few more days to show up. Today, after 2 more days of no package, I get a message from him claiming that he was getting reports of USPS taking 2 weeks(??) to deliver his packages. I also checked myUSPS, which said that I had no shipments en route to my residence - wtf?

Is this normal? I live next to a major USPS sorting hub, and my region consistently experiences the fastest priority shipping I've ever seen anywhere else. Should I ask him for a tracking number? I froze the funds in escrow, and have been in direct contact with the vendor. My house is clean and I have two tickets to Belize, etc.

tl;dr - Vendor is claiming that USPS Priority takes 2 weeks to deliver. Is he fucking with me?

*EDIT - Vendor is CaliforniaGreenCross on Nucleus. Will make a vendor/weed review when product arrives.

Not what I wanted to read. Buyer beware, at this point. Ordered from CaliGC the second week of January. No arrival after 10 days and was told that package was shipped on the day ordered. Claimed that there's no tracking number kept for OPSEC. Currently in resolution on Nucleus awaiting a reship. Fingers crossed, but something smells fishy.

Vendors have been lazy lately. Usps gets my express orders to me from the one vendor in less than 20hrs once they actually get it, but the vendor takes anywhere from 1 to 5 days to toss it in a blue box! I've been getting priority orders from a few different vendors all over the country, and they're all 2 to 3 days from me placing the order. I do check tracking once I've gotten the orders most of the time. It's a surefire way to see when a vendor actually dropped a package off. Even over the holidays I was getting cross country priority orders in 2 or 3 days from when it was dropped off. And mail moves all day Saturday and sunday, so that whole "weekends don't count" thing is BS. If your order is dropped off before Friday evening, and it's going priority, it should be there monday. Vendors like to blame usps for their laziness. And while I have seen the occasional usps fuck up, sometimes really bizarre ones, usually a late order is because of the vendor.

I sent a priority package that landed yesterday, and took 12 days to arrive. Everything else from that mail day made it in 4. Other mail days to that region took 4. The ice is messing with some packages but not others. I don't understand.

The vendor is probably fucking with you if he hasn't handed over tracking yet.

I Just had an East to West package ship Monday and land Friday. So, I call bullshit. You can check out USPS service alerts here: https://about.usps.com/news/service-alerts/business-weather-updates.htm

which said that I had no shipments en route to my residence - wtf?

MyUSPS didn't show this package either, as where the other 4 from this vendor came through every time. Have heard of others having issues with tracking over the last week or so.

Also if only THEIR packages are taking 2 weeks maybe they are being profiled. I doubt you have to worry over some weed, just a theory.
