USPS is the WORST.
However, unlike UPS, the US Postal Service:
- Delivers on Saturday at no extra charge,
- Doesn't charge any of those outrageous UPS fees for address corrections, returned packages, or international customs clearance,
- Charges amazingly low rates for distant US locations like Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, US military bases, etc.,
- Delivers to PO boxes.

I just can't believe it has been sitting there for 5 days. 
I'm picturing my little package sitting under a crate somewhere, abandoned and trying to escape from the facility. maybe I've watched Toy Story too many times.

You know USPS First Class is basically the slowest possible shipping option?
Really? I've had first class packages make it all the way across the country in 2 days. I've had UPS take 9 days to get something to California.
There was one time I shipped packages to the same place via Fedex and UPS on the same day and the Fedex package got there several days earlier.

all depends
I mean they send tracking information as soon as you order, some companies wait to actually send until the order is processed. So if it takes 3 days to process, your tracking will sit for 3 days.

It was probably shipped priority mail.

Ground shipments can take that long to go across the country.

Fact: Every item I have ever ordered on Amazon that was shipped via USPS arrived at least a day late. Terrible organization.

I initially felt pretty guilty after dropping $99 for Prime.
Why? It was just $100 and you get two day shipping and the equivalent of netflix. Win Win. Nothing to feel guilt or buyers remorse over. Solid purchase.
