What You Should Understand

The post office doesn't always scan every package at every step -- as you can see from the examples above.

1. I have processed your order when you receive the "Order is Complete" email. Please check spam.
2. Your order has shipped even if the tracking status isn't scanned to reflect that.
3. Once your order is shipped, I don't have any more information beyond what you see in the tracking status.
   

The postal system is overwhelmed and delays should be expected during the pandemic. It is run by humans who are getting sick from the virus too. Additionally, limited flights means your package may not reach its next destination as quickly.

Delivery estimates are only that -- estimates, not guarantees.  This was also noted at checkout:

 

Please be patient. Most questions resolve themselves in a few days, some may take a few weeks.    99% of all packages are delivered safely, even if they may be delayed or failed to scan.

 

Steps to Take:

1. Go to the tracking status on the USPS site. Click on the Text & Email Updates link:
   
2. Enter your email to receive notifications each time the tracking status is updated. This transmits an informal inquiry with USPS that usually gets the package moving within a few days.
3. Complete a USPS Help Request Form (step 2 in the link) which will be forwarded to your local Post Office to help locate any missing items.
