Mailman guy you think you could look up a package for me?
Sorry, just now saw this. Has it shown up? There are pockets across the country where the bottleneck is worse, but in middle TN we are finally caught up. Indianapolis is the worst right now.

I filed a complaint on Friday, today I get an email that it's resolved and boom package shows up. So if you're not getting your stuff and it's stuck in one spot for a long time, file a lost mail complaint and hopefully it will speed it up.
As a career USPS employee who handles missing mail inquiries daily, I can say with utmost confidence, it doesn’t work this way. 100% coincidence.

Good luck. Never trust the USPS during the holidays

I’m cautiously optimistic. I’ve got a present that’s in Memphis right now- delivery to Shreveport, La.
ETA: Priority Mail (not Express)

I had one package sipped from California to Texas to Mississippi (destination) to North Carolina to Tennessee back to Mississippi.
I live in Atlanta. I had a package sent to me about a month ago from SoLa. Package came to Atlanta…then sent to Jacksonville….then Atlanta again….then Jacksonville again…then Phoenix…then Atlanta.

Dealing with something similar. 13 days to go from Memphis to Los Angeles and I live in Louisiana.
Anyway, they staff up for Xmas around October/November. I guarantee your package got missorted because some dumbfrick sees LA on the package and thinks L.A. That doesn't excuse the delay once it arrived on L.A. however.

I can tell you days before Christmas, we start processing Priority Mail first to do everything we can to get it delivered by Christmas.

Right now your package is apart of the local USPS White Elephant Gift Exchange

I opened it back up and after a week I went to PayPal to open it up with them and it has been in limbo the last two weeks claiming they are giving the business time to respond.
PayPal takes too long and I'm having a very poor experience on a package I haven't received that was ordered in November. The first sign of trouble was the seller didn't send me a payment confirmation. The only invoice I received was from PayPal showing my payment.
This wasn't a company I've dealt with before and I can't find a website. On PayPal, they only show "Shop" as the seller in one place and in another, there's a lot of Asian figures, so apparently I've ordered something from some Asian scam artist on PayPal. I checked on the shipping and the site when I ordered and saw nothing indicating I was dealing with a seller outside of the country.
There was an email address on the PayPal invoice. I emailed the seller 3 times and got no response. I kept checking the tracking number that suddenly showed up on PayPal. All it has said for weeks is that a label was created. The seller has never brought the package to USPS.
PayPal, of course gave the seller several weeks to respond. Actually, I had an earlier date at first, but when I escalated it, they extended the response time which makes NO sense. Seller had until today to respond. The seller finally responded to PayPal, providing only the same tracking number. PayPal, in it's infinite wisdom, closed my dispute saying the seller said the package was delivered. The seller said nothing of the sort and the tracking proves the package was never even shipped.
So, I then get into a chat with an agent who tells me I've received the package in spite of tracking proof that I have not. They haven't even checked the tracking, I'm sure. I went back and forth with the agent on how stupid this is. I asked her to explain how they determined I received a package where tracking shows USPS never received it. I asked for a supervisor. Then, I got an email immediately, saying my case was reopened on appeal. Geez...
I entered more notes on the dispute about how simple this case is and that I no longer feel that PayPal is a safe method of payment/purchase. If PayPal is offered as a payment method, I use it, but that's going to change. I've never had any issues, but the seller is obviously a scammer who knows PayPal will close disputes if they just send a tracking number. They don't look at the tracking history.
There's not a lot of money involved, but it's darn frustrating to be told I received a package that clearly never shipped!
Rant over.

I have a VA prescription package stuck in the Jackson distribution center. I will hopefully get it tomorrow.
