Delayed Mail from USPS

[Peter Jones]

Waiting on 2 sets of brake pads here. Glad I'm not alone. My vendor, Summit Racing says I can claim for missing parcels after 30 days.

What's your favourite excuse for this current delay?

Here's mine.

We have been advised by the postal administration of Australia that the Puyehue-Cordón Caulle volcano eruption on June 4th, 2011 in Chile; has disrupted air transportation to, from and within Australia and New Zealand region. The Australian Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre (VAAC) continues to monitor the volcanic activity. As of July 26th 2011, airspace continues to be affected and mail processing will be impacted as a result of the disruption to air services until further notice.

Again, we apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your business.

USPS are normally pretty good, but had some new audio equipment sent with them on 12-07 which only arrived yesterday, so if anyone is experiencing any delays, be patient

I deal with the States reasonable frequently - 7 to 10 working days is normal for a small parcel - 15 to 20 for something bigger.

it also depend where the item is shipped from.

For example Dallas Fort Worth is a customs training centre and EVERTHING gets checked - it's a nightmare.

Usually a day or two in customs Stateside and about the same here.

Also USPS is simply the United States Postal Service - good old regular mail , same as Aussie Post - NOT a priority service.

UPS is an international priority carrier.

My orders from GAP were USPS the first few times but due to cost I've requested them to go through UPS. Cheaper quotes, and always prompt.

I've ordered a couple of things from the US and its taken easy 3 - 4 weeks to get stuff, using USPS priority

I've got stuff from the UK, such as my FK AK Coilovers, which arrives generally 1 - 2 weeks using either Royal mail

or Parcel force, which is a subsidary of Royal mail

It is, but they do offer Priority and Express, same as Australia Post. Priority International should be 6 - 10 days Express International should be 4 - 6 days. We pay extra for it, so it is really frustrating! Not much i can do so i'm trying to be patient! Sort of good to know that i'm not the only one!!

Todays excuse is

''The strike was with the staff from the Australia quarantine and inspection services because of that there is a delay with all mail coming to Australia. Lets Hope that it will be better by now and the packages will arrive soon. The are sitting in cusome in Australia''

I have had a quite few ships from US via USPS and UPS, I think its well worth the extra coin for using the same carrier from door to door, ie UPS rather than pony express that is USPS / AUST post.

I called Aus post, they said it is defiantly not in Australia.
Contacted the seller and they are contacting USPS for a better trace.

You might be lucky Dom, some have been, but 2 weeks isn't sounding too good tbh. It is SO frustrating!!!! I'm going to have to try and forget i ever ordered anything!!

[GRN_VAGN]

in same boat,

Got a weber filter i Bought on 6th July, was posted on the 7th, last update was 7th at around 22:14 and its being sorted and should be leaving for destination soon..... tracking says its still in NY

As I wrote before, I got the same status updates (processed through sort facility, etc.) after 2 days from posting by the seller, then for weeks no updates until the parcel eventually arrived after 5 weeks! I guess, better to get it late than never... so don't stress too much, you will get it delivered eventually
