Missing USPS International package off the radar (1 Viewer)

[BGinGA]

One more vote for not giving up. Just got a first ping in a while from a package from the US that was supposed to be delivered in August. These are truly extraordinary times, and nothing can be predicted. But patience is required.

And another vote:

I just received an overseas package that was mailed to me in late April or early May and assumed lost forever (no tracking). So long ago that the sender actually shipped a second package to replace it (that one arrived in about three weeks).

Need to contact him and settle up financially.

that is the best story you have?

Hell no....your package took the crown there

A great package almost got lost forever.
Mike send me something from the Saudi Arabia or somewhere down there.

Package had no tracking and no delivery after 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, .... vanished
Fast forward almost 12 months....had to visit the post office to send & receive some packages (local stuff) and the clerk checks my ID.
Well Sir, we have a package laying here for a few weeks...you did not reply on the notice and we would be shipping it back in a few.

I'm like (never thinking about Mike's box) ....said I never received a notice (but my lame ass replacement mail man never hands these out).
I get handed a completely destroyed 'box' that was hanging together with tape.

And yes....2 minty fresh Starline setups & Starline DB where retrieved (no damage at all).
Good times....since this package I always keep the faith

Lost only 2 packages sending (in +10 years):
GCOP sample set....but that got back to me after a month or two chilling in the US (receiver addy was damaged on conveyor belt)
GC DB (acrylic) that has gone to chipping heaven...my only real loss
And one receiving: first batch of 6 Alpha decks (this was during the first covid peak...no tracking)

I must say the post services do try to go out of their way to get a package delivered....sending good karma for speedy delivery

More recent I received an awsome gift from @Irish...did not know it was coming and customs snatched it for check.
Never received a letter (to pay VAT & fees)...the saw it was a real present and just let it go (no payment).
That was the FIRST ever...before I even had to pay on Christmas & birthday presents

I guess they saw it was the 'First to the cash game' prize and cut me some slack

It just took 3 weeks for a letter to get from Florida to us in Ohio

I mailed two packages to AUS (one LFRB and a PFRE) a couple of weeks ago. Both still showing as in Miami. Past shipments (pre-covid) usually took around 20 days to make the trip, although usually spent up to 10 days in AUS customs after they got there.

Update: one package collected custom fees and was delivered yesterday, second pkg in AUS since Tuesday (same place as other one was before delivery). So 14-20 days, which is about normal in my experience.

I have been receiving International shipments from Norway in about 2 weeks, so everything is working A OK! Your package may ben an exception, and you'll probably need to contact the seller

USPS is a shit show right now, and always has been. Horrible company.
