Boo

Mine is same as Wade's "In Transit"

I was fortunate enough for USPS to do a good job of getting mine to WI and it has already been delivered.

The thank you token is pretty awesome!

Congrats on the speedy delivery. Yeah, that token is pretty sweet. I hope it gets added to the app in the next update.

Looks like my package made it to Aurora, so its finally out of St. Louis and a good chance I'll get it tomorrow (also in Wisconsin).

This is a new level, even for USPS.

The idea of needing to get all the way here to determine the address was insufficient.....

Also, now all the gas is going to leak out!

Wow. That's insane.

Particularly given how many packages have come from TDHQ to this address over the years.

Wade, you have my sympathies.

Our Patron treasure came today, one day before the original estimate. Which was nice, but doesn’t explain why the package was scanned as arriving at the Chicago Distribution Center before it supposedly departed the Aurora facility (three times!). Oh well.

Still not out for delivery, but I'm hopeful. My package had to really fight to get this far. It departed St. Louis 4 times before finally escaping and then had to depart Oak Creek 3 times last night. It's currently on it's way to my local PO.

The vortex is spinning…a transmute of mine has departed St Louis twice in the last few hours.

Hopefully this helps prevent my next week’s treasure shipment not get caught…

Well, I can dream.

Recently arranged for trading tokens. We both exchanged tracking info provided by USPS. Both tokens were in the mail on June 3. The one I sent arrived on June 5. The one I was to receive had a status posted that it would be arriving late. It had not arrived by June 13. I pm'd the other trader to alert him. On the 14th I went down to my local Post Office and gave them the tracking information. The man at the counter asked me to step aside and he would take the info to the Post Master. After about a 15 minute wait, she came out and informed me they did not know where it was located. She stated there had been a fire/accident. I assumed they had a semi accident and fire. She told me she would check with the Des Moines Post Master to see if it arrived there. I gave her my number to contact me.

No news for two days. I checked the tracking status and no new notifications. I was going to go down and check the status on the third day June 17. I checked the mail before my trek to the Post Office. Lo and behold the token arrived. USPS sure knows how to raise a person's anxiety. Google "Mail Truck Fires" I never imagined this happens so often.

Wow. Didn't know that about the truck fires. 407 of them in 7 years.

Here's a new one. My informed delivery dashboard tells me that a label was created in Carbondale for a package headed my way. The odd thing is that it says the label was printed at 6:59pm in Illinois. The current time is 5:47pm.
Jeez, maybe my package can arrive before it is delivered.
