Not uncommon right now! I've had a package flying between Grand Rapids and Traverse City (I'm in the middle) for a week now :lol:

I have a fabric shipment that has been bouncing between two Michigan cities for over a week now. I picture it going from one truck to the next and then back again and so on lol. Tracking doesn’t say anything but “arriving late” now. :facepalm:

I had three orders waiting for one box of toy parts that should have arrived before SWS. It finally arrived and everything in the box was packed in the wrong size. Emailed the company, they resent the box. It should have arrived Thursday, nothing. Yesterday I saw the fedex truck pull up, went outside about 20 minutes later to grab the box and it was a vacuum cleaner! :cautious: I don't have any carpet...
Took the box two streets down to give it to the right owner in hopes he had my box... nope. Hope it comes today. :rolleyes:

Your box is not late or lost. :laugh: Some orders are on my cutting table, some orders are on drying racks, some are boxed and waiting for pickups...
Yours is at our lumber store or still growing in northern WI. :rofl: We have a huge counter in the shop labeled "Bowser". Stacks and stacks of cut wood.
My goal is to finish up everything else this weekend so Monday starts "Bowser Build Week". :laugh:

:pinklol: I blame Bowser entirely. He loves toys more than any parrot I know. He looks so cute and happy when in the midst of toy destruction that his orders just keep getting more “Bowser sized.” Lol

Well I will end up messaging you before Monday. I have a few customs I'm going to do for him and just want to double check his favorite wood sizes. I'm actually pushing Bowser's build week to line up with another toy box I do for a darling GW. Big baby about the same age as Bowser. I'm always building crazy toys for him. Should be a fun week between the two of them.

Bowser might need this!

I don't remember either but do remember thinking you would be happy with it all. I don't know how I got it to fit in that box but I was committed to making it happen. All fresh dyed toys, I do know that!

My package still hasn't moved since the 29th, tomorrow we'll call the post office to see if they can find it and get it going again. I hope they didn't lose it!

They likely didn't lose it. I've had some packages lately taking 14 days to move :(

I just looked at all my tracking numbers for the last few weeks and everything that has to go through IL is delayed. :( UPS and USPS it seems. Your package Bee, seems to be one of the more stuck ones. Maybe if you called your local PO they could tell you what the issue is butI doubt it will speed it up.

I ship a ton to MI. We hauled in a bunch of packages the other day and the PO lady told us a huge facility in MI is shut down. She looked at three of our packages and shook her head. :arghh:
I'm keeping an eye on these.

Yeah my problem state has been NY; those are the ones that don't move forever. I've also had some that get shipped in the wrong direction; I've been told that since some facilities are flooded and short on staff, that they're sending trucks to other facilities to sort through

I have a floridia one coming back return to sender. I know the box was addressed correctly and I know the customer didn't deny it. Bet anything it had damage and now is an unreadable label.
Doc is going to be upset... ;) I have to message Doc's mom and tell her but I'm sure she knows. :wtf:

And she got it even though the tracking says return to sender. Just shows you it's a mess. Poor mail carriers.. I can't imagine.
