I think someone at USPS is bored and writing a drama...

So my latest pedalpcb order (going to Minnesota) has gone from Georgia, to Florida, to Massachusetts, and is now "out for delivery" in Puerto Rico. Makes sense. lolz.

I sent an outbound priority mail package from Minnesota to Michigan and the tracking has stayed at "USPS in possession of item" for 6 business days now.

2 weeks more and it's still "in transit" in Puerto Rico. How long do you guys wait before writing it off as lost?

Have you opened up an inquiry with USPS? I've had packages suddenly start moving or get found pretty quickly after filing.

I’m having a similar issue with my latest pcb order. Last scan showed it at the Phoenix AZ distribution center and it has said “in transit” since November 28th. The really annoying part is, that distribution center is only 130 miles from my house
. I opened up an inquiry with USPS and was just basically told that all priority and first class mail is experiencing delays of 10 days or more.

I should have never besmerched the good name of USPS.
FedEx, you take the cake for world's shittiest logistics company.
Oh, a shipment in state, you say? And it's the busiest part of the year for shippers? Well...let's just let our poorly staffed subcontractors take care of home delivery. Whatever. Fuck you. Your packages are meaningless to us. Who knows if they'll ever arrive. What, you expect a package from in-state to arrive in 7 days? Hah. We will keep your package at our facility, and continually update it's progress as 'in transit' every day. Even though it's quite clearly sitting still in your home town.
Go ahead. Try to arrange to pick it up. We will laugh at your pitiful whining for your new soldering iron tips.
And god help you if any of your packages have to go through Roseville.
Seriously...UPS, DHL, ONTRAC, USPS, they all have their problems.
Buf FEDex? Might as well have merged with total bastard airlines a while back. Jeeeeeezuz.

It's like the needle is stuck in the same groove.

Or they’re sending all the plastic baggies in separate packages 
I recently had some transformers from Mercury Magnetics arrive - Yay!! They had been going via USPS from LA to Carson City and back for a few weeks then suddenly I receive them. In Australia. Is Carson City code for Australia?
I suspect that once parcels leave the USA then USPS just makes up where they are rather than admitting that they have no idea. Where is my parcel? Carson City!!

Not a timing issue but I think Bezos should discourage his employees from letting the warehouse mastiff chew on the merchandise before sending. The mailer was flawless. Strings are fine but a bit mangled for such a spendy set. It's what I get for buying music gear from there, I guess. My local didn't have these in stock though!
