So USPS has been having some delays recently....

Not exactly DNM related but I thought this would put some of you at ease who have been waiting on packs for longer than expected.

Below is a picture of tracking from a recent clearnet (completely legal) order I made online. Bottom entry is the origin scan and top one is the newest scan, if you're curious I live WEST of Michigan....

Yes, a package was delayed 1 day for me. Just sat at the sorting facility an extra day. Delays are real, always find out for yourself before pointing fingers at anything.

Thanks for this. I'm waiting on an order from SNS at the moment and it's taking a couple extra days to get here. Unfortunately I did a direct deal so the only evidence I have of our order are some messages but I still have faith it will come through. first world junkie problems, amirite?

Seems like a lot of people west of detroit have slower ship times then the NE.

Probably a infrastructure thing.

I've seen many posts on here saying that the ship times were slow but on the East had no problems with 2 day W to E and 1 day E to E.

Guess it depends.

My 2 cents.

The fastest or most efficient routing is not necessarily the most geographically direct one. That Linthicum Heights scan is most likely your package going through BWI (Baltimore/Washington) Airport. Your item could easily be placed on a plane destined for somewhere in your region, get to a city near you in a few hours, and be delivered within a couple of days.

In other words: placing your package on a westbound USPS ground vehicle instead might have actually been less efficient than taking an eastbound detour to Maryland and flying the item to your city.

Yup. USPS has been slackin'. I had a clearnet package get delayed at a shipment facility for three days.

Thank you. I have a first class package that I figure should have been here yesterday or today. Hopefully tomorrow...
