TOPIC: USPS follies

USPS in possession of item 3/24
Arrived St. Louis 3/25
Depart St. Louis 3/26
...Arrived St. Louis 3/29...
And tracking updates daily since then with "In Transit, Arriving Late
Your package will arrive later than expected, but is still on its way. It is currently in transit to the next facility."

Exact same thing is happening to me. I opened a ticket with USPS and they said "Well I'm sure it's on its way!".

Yeah. It's weird.

The people who "investigated" were the people from my local post office. I don't need them looking into, since the package isn't there. I need someone in St. Louis to look into it.

Yeah other madison, WI people who suffer from post office delays as well.

Glad to know that it's at least not me...I figure if others are still seeing the delay it's less of a chance the package has been lost, and more likely due to incompetence or a broken system.

The package from California did arrive today, and the tokens within way better than I expected. A token order from TD HQ also arrived today, 24 hours after being ordered.

Another package from Carbondale, bought from a golem player, was sent out Saturday and took a road trip to Kansas City. If things go well (HA!) I will see it tomorrow.

Here we go. I mailed in my transmutes to TD on Monday, they arrived at and departed the first distribution center Monday night. There have been no updates in the past 36 hours other than to say they are in transit to the next destination and scheduled to arrive "on time", which would be Friday. Ridiculous. Every prior shipment to Carbondale took two days to arrive, not four. I can only hope they just stopped scanning the package and that it will still arrive sooner rather than later. Based on past shipments, it should have arrived in St. Louis yesterday afternoon, departed St. Louis and arrived in Carbondale early this morning. St. Louis, we have a problem.

I suspect the holiday weekend slowed things quite a bit across the board. I sent a (non-2021) transmute box to Cabondale from IN on Thursday. It got to StL on Saturday and didn't leave until this morning.

this is why I wait until a con to do transmutes for high end items.

Normally, that would be the plan. However, I really want to use some of those tokens for my V4c runs.

Dave, same thing is happening to me with a big transmute shipment that includes 2 SoC.

Lazlo has the right idea. I think I'm going to wait until Gen Con/GHC for any more Relic+ transmutes; this is too stressful!
