I currently have multiple USPS packages (incoming and outgoing) that have statuses of "In Transit, Arriving Late" and have not been scanned for many days. One package was last updated 13 days ago. An acquaintance who sells things online is seeing the same thing, packages in transit with no updates for 1-2 weeks.

It's possible we've just been unlucky and these packages are lost, but it could also be indicative of a larger logistical problem with USPS.

I shipped a package from Chicago to Baltimore last month. Based on tracking info, the USPS had it on a truck within hours. To Wichita. It made it through the distribution center there and back on a truck within another few hours, where it showed up in Washington DC 6 days later. And now I guess it's heading to Baltimore. Or at least I hope so.

My daughter sends books via media mail to a friend in suburban NYC. For basically pocket change, they get there in 3 days or so.
