Same, Dave, same. Out for delivery at 11:04 am today, delivery attempted—no access to delivery location at 11:23 am. Maybe Monday. Fingers crossed for all of us.

Here's what I find interesting about that. My package was out for delivery at 8:22am today, delivery attempted--no access to delivery location at 9:13am today. Do they actually make multiple attempts throughout the day?

Mine has the same out for delivery time of 11:04 a.m. and no access at 11:23 am. Maybe TPTB will see this thread and can shed light on the situation.

Mine was out for delivery at 8:11, attempted delivery at 11:22.

I'm not sure about Carbondale, but around St. Louis side roads are still getting cleared from the blizzard Wed/Thur. "Attempted delivery" could mean "saw that the road towards TD central wasn't completely cleared of snow/ice yet so not going to bother".

The whole USPS "Neither snow nor rain..." is pretty much drivel.

Here's a new one, at least for me.

My transmute order arrived in Carbondale on 2/4, then instead of getting delivered went to Springfield, IL, then to Champaign, IL. And after touring Illinois it headed back to St Louis and is now in Carbondale again this morning.

I hope it gets delivered rather than continuing it's tour of the Prairie State.

I've had a package go to Champaign instead of Carbondale, adding a few days to the trip, but never one that made it to Carbondale before being mis-routed to Champaign. (My guess is someone got confused about downstate cities starting with C.) Hope your package ends up in the right place soon.

My shipment was allegedly delivered to TDHQ at 11:10 this morning. I will believe it when I get the email for the return shipment. Here's hoping all the wayward packages get where they are going.

My package is still showing Saturday's undeliverable status. Maybe it will update later. Sigh.

My package that was undeliverable on Saturday was delivered today at 11:08. So here's hoping for everyone else in that situation.

yes got the same

I can only imagine that TDHQ has a huge wall of boxes at the door... LOL

Well, at this point they either failed to scan my package when it was delivered, or they failed to bring it back with them today. I can only say this happened the last time they tried to deliver a package on Saturday. It ended up not being redelivered until the following Tuesday.
