Hi, I've read through the other threads, and searched the box first...(Chrez had a similar post long time ago). 

After clearing customs, items next update  "Arrived" (to a post office far away) close to where customs usps site is.  It has said this continually for the last five days. 

Vendor doesn't want to call for check status,  my questions is:  SHOULD i call the 800 number and inquire?  Geesh, I don't want a lot of extra attention to my candies, but it cleared customs and seems misplaced.... Should I call to inquire, or just drop it and count it as a loss? I don't want to risk revealing too much personal info, but if it is indeed stuck, I would like it to be noticed and eventually move my direction....  

 
I would not call.  Either it will arrive or it won't and a phone call will only bring attention to your order. Really, any attention at this point is negative attention. I know you want your order but my opinion is that it is not worth the risk a phone call.  I know there are others who say these shippers have hundreds of thousands of packages daily and that is true BUT... I wouldn't want mine singled out.  Just my opinion.

Have ya ever seen the show Seinfeld? If so, do you remember Newman, the mailman? I have met my share of postal workers in my day (friends with 2) and with the recent closure of numerous and local sort fac1lities, a delay of 5+ days would not shock me at all. Like Roger says, if and when it shows it does. Calling isn't going to get it to you any quicker. Might as well wait it out, but since it still technically is a free country, you can do as you please.

FYI there is a post office in my town, and if I send a letter to somebody in the same area, the postal service trucks it 2.5 hours north to the new sort facility, then it gets back on a truck to go 2.5 hours back to my town just to get delivered 9 miles from me (bill that I pay, but I work odd hours). And people say that our govt. is inefficient....

 
Sooo...do you think eventually that "wrong post office" WILL notice it is sitting there?  And then will sort of notice it should have be placed outbound to a state far, far away?   I have no idea how long they let items just "sit" there (a year? Only if someone calls?  Only when they get time to check on it?).  Thanks for the advice, I am NOT going to call unless it goes another week just sitting there, and even then, I  m I g h t  call from anonymous number "just to check"   Vendor will replace it ony IF it gets returned to vendor (since obviously it hasn't been seized.....)

Thanks everyone!!!!.

 
 It's probably just sitting there with other stuff waiting to be sorted/whatever they do to it. Also tn's rarely update, it could be sitting in your box, and still say exactly what it does now. I would do whatever I could to forget about it, and it ALWAYS shows when you LEAST expect it. Happens to myself and others all the time. If you are expecting it, it won't show. How/why this is the case...not sure. I might conduct a study on this. Good luck.

Thanks for the info.  I think, if there are no updated by Thursday, I might just send an email inquiry w one of my "other" email addresses.   I realize I might not get any response for four business days, but perhaps at least something will come of it.   Also, yes, I"ve had several tracking  #'s never update even after gifts arrive, but not when coming from out of county; they usually always have....

 
Items got returned to their sender, or at least that's where its headed. Sigh. No LL yet so maybe a different glich of some sort...

 
Yay! Items arrived over the weekend. Tracking shows they went back to original senders country, and from there is was re routed back to my area. All OK! 

 
Shippers are human, and they screw up on a regular basis, and that's a fact. Some drivers have even been known to open the packages, and releave the package of all the mothers day chocolates. Effectively leaving the package in a "pre-planned" lost state, never to be seen again. I've seen/heard of that  that happening several times before.. It's a shame some of these shipping/courier drivers make $32 -$40 bucks and hour, and are bigger criminals than most other folks. But it sure happens.

Was in the news in my local area that a UPS truck lost control and piled up leaving several no doubt valuable packages late for at least a day or two. The driver of the 18 wheeler was charged with DUI. Damn if he didn't screw up royal. A cushy job like that, making no telling how much money, and for him to be that foolish <Shakes Head>. I guess it takes all kinds. for the money they get paid to drive those 18 wheeler trucks, I'd wear a damned safely helmet and a five point harness, if they'd stop them from charging me with something that would cause me to lose my pie job.

  3. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Robert Duvall and a handful of others were a younger actors coach and always said no one worked as hard as those guys did. Robert Duvall and rest would read the full script 228 over and over, then after the last read they would go into how to perform their character. The young man had made it to meet Al who are greats and pull them to the side. And explain what his coach said. They all looked back and said out of every role you’ve seen me in. I have read it 228 by myself. 🫡 🫢 🫢 🫢
  4. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Sorry for comment below, but I couldn’t delete. Know I see the
  5. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: Yeah Robert Duvall passing is a hard one. RIP
  6. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Damn. Just heard Robert Duvall passed away Sunday. That’s a tough one. He’s one of my favorite actors. From Lonesome Dove to the Godfather and many others. We will miss you Mr Duvall. You entertained us for 7 decades. RIP

  8. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Just wondering if anyone well trusted has a supply of research thienos or benz in powders for good average prices? Or could give a shout out from me to him? Or the best lowest per each? I’ve seen some cool and some i just know are worth it. Good price rv presses too but it is much more bang for your buck. I have one good vendor. But am looking for variety’s well. Send me a message or reply if you think any. Thanks - CLINT E. Any Heavy stuff too which all seem about the ssmmmmmm
  9. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I always thought I should’ve been born in a much earlier time but I will say, i do enjoy my Xbox and occasional TV series tho 😂
  10. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I just wish the opioid epidemic never happened. Fk the turn of the century (which would be cool no doubt)! Many of my friends and family would’ve ended up in asylums like so many others. I just wish I could get back all those I’ve lost since the start
  11. L @ Layne_Cobain: 1914 I meant
  12. L @ Layne_Cobain: I often wish I lived during the turn of the century or at least before the Harrison narcotics act or whatever I think it was 1924 the fun ended but anyway yeh being able to get laudanum, ❄️ and amphetamine at the local friendly pharmacy
  13. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Chew on the leaves with a bit of slaked lime and enjoy the mild boost you get from the raw base.
  14. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I’m sure you know the folks in the mountainous regions along South Americas pacific side buy cócà leaves at the local farmers market just to help acclimate to the higher elevation when they have to head up into the hills.
  15. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I would certainly have bought it, swilled it, enjoyed it…. Why not? A little boost in your juice isn’t going to hurt anyone.
  16. R @ Royboy99: Exports were reported to have around 7.2mg per FL OZ, it’s success is what actually led to Coca Cola
  17. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Having cramps and husband thinks you’re acting hysterical (ie. PMS) the doc would either perform a certain massage to relieve the strains of motherhood and family life of that time or send you down to the local apothecary for a bottle of laudanum… A tincture of alcohol and 10% òpìųm. Fun days huh?
  18. R @ Royboy99: @malestrom: yeah thats it, my bad Mariani, yeah i considered that and also its ROA, which was oral so the bioavailability was lower than insufflation, higher degree of purity tho and longer duration … there was a significant marked increase of patents filed by Edison during the time it was released in the US. Presidents were known to use it as well, and the Queen. The pope awarded the wine the Vatican gold medal award
  19. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I think it was called vin Mariani. But yeah, it was all the rave back in the turn to the 20th century. Original formula Coca Cola did it for a while too. I think it was pretty weak though. Something like 200 mg per liter of wine. Enough to maybe give you a little push but unless you could pound some serious alcohol, it’d be hard to really feel the effects before the ethyl knocked you down on the ground. It was an interesting time period. Laudanum was a “hysterical” woman’s best friend.
  20. R @ Royboy99: Maybe it’s the admixture of my South American dna that works so well with it ? 🤷
