Does anyone else have packages stuck at a major hub due to ice?  I have 2 stuck since Thursday night.  Since this was right after Trump's big announcement on allocating more money to scanning equipment for carriers I got worried about possible detection.  Still no movement and expected delivery changed to Pending.

Thanks!

 
Good day - apologies for a late reply but indeed, Memphis had the worst interruption I’ve ever seen - flight operations offline for two days to the airport code SAN (and others) and sorting problems too.  I know one letter that sat there from Friday AM at 12:05 and finally departed MEM at 5:56pm on Sunday afternoon.  It looks like they are all caught up as of 7am Monday morning.  Flightradar24 was invaluable during this time (you analyze the situation yourself) since customer service has no insights into these major service interruptions.

 
I am currently stuck at a smaller hub and I believe it is due to weather.  I dont think that they could get scanning equipment in place that quickly but who knows.....I know that particular area has a ton of snow right now so I am not exactly sure what is going on but that is my best guess.   Thank you @anthropod for that advice and I will definitely check it out.  I have never had a problem with this carrier before so who knows....their website is showing that all locations are operational but I am not sure how often that is updated.

@GungHo  any updates on your letters?

I just checked one of the more popular shipping sites and they are experiencing massive nationwide delays so I guess that is what the hold up is.  The alert was posted after I made the above post.   Good luck everyone!

Any info on this "scanning equipment"??? I tried searching on Google and couldn't find anything 

 
@jo556   I just found an article and it is for scanning equipment at us ports of entry to detect fent.    It will be mainly used at ports and borders but they only allocated 9 million dollars for it and it likely wont impact the passage of letters within our country.  It is called the Interdict Act signed last week so it wont be in use prolly for another 2 years based on the speed our elected persons work.    So I would not be too terribly alarmed and I think most delays right now are weather related.   I have received 2 emails from the non clowns in brown saying Nationwide weather disruptions.....so lets keep our fingers crossed for some warmer temps soon!!

Yes, they finally started to move but then sat again over the weekend.  I finally received on Monday so it ended well, thankfully!  At least they weren't closed for MLK day!

 
@GungHo   Thanks for the update!  Mine is still sitting and I am now going to be in trouble if I dont receive in the next day or so.   Hopefully the backlog will not impact anything after today as the weather seems to push further north and east.  I am in the opposite direction and I cant figure out why it hasnt moved other than the backlog.  At least you got yours!!

Well things are moving again....very interesting and unusual but I am not complaining.  I think everything from tracking to the actual letter itself was slowed down by the weather.  Its crazy but no movement until mid morning then boom......on its way!!  I am kinda shocked that the backlog got cleared out that fast but hey I am not complaining.   This whole naming of the winter storms and the up and down temps has got to change....Its going to be near 70 where I am by the weekend and tonight it is going to be 25!   Global warming.....Yeah probably.   Extremes in parts of the country that usually experience mild winters.....Snow in Shreveport and parts of Texas??     Definitely weird....

lol im in the same area of the country as you and a pack of protein i ordered from google took 8 days to come from west coast that normally takes 2 days. Things just STOPPED from like the 17th-22nd..then boom, moved fast. It was because of the cold and ice. As you know, in our area when things get a lil icy the WHOLE STATE shuts down. lol.

  1. M @ meepmoopmeep: @drdrizzy13 Texas lost to Florida of all teams, they weren’t heading for the playoffs anyways imo. At least not this year
  2. D @ drdrizzy13: Texas is offically out of the playoffs they didn't make the top 12. I do wish they were in it. They showed up against Texas AM. But there fatal flaw was scheduling Ohio State for their opening. Which would have been great if they won but they are a 3 loss team now.
  3. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah idk about arch I could see him staying with Sark for another year but if he plays rly well in the playoff who knows that is if they get in
  4. D @ drdrizzy13: Man a lot of Saints fan want Arch but I think he said he is playing another year. I would take him probably. But if Texas AM QB comes out or Ohio State's I think you gotta take one if your picking top 2.
  5. L @ Layne_Cobain: Is the qb class supposed to be stacked or thin for draft in April I follow college ball but I can’t think right now I think there’s def at least a few high potential qb declaring
  6. D @ drdrizzy13: Right now I believe we pick 2nd. ATM.
  7. D @ drdrizzy13: At first I figured he might be able to do something but our position players suck. We are playing a rookie QB. O-line sucks. It needs to be blown up. I hope we tank for the first pick
  8. L @ Layne_Cobain: Hopefully you guys maybe find a solid qb option in the draft you should end up with a very good pick
  9. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah dude Moore def does not seem like the guy for yall need to clean house
  10. D @ drdrizzy13: I should say our receivers suck
  11. D @ drdrizzy13: AK is hurt. Our receivers hurt and our starting QB went to college for fucking 6 years. If that tells you something. Also he never completed a complete season in college due to injury. We need a new GM and FAST. And surprisingly Kellen Moore's play calling has been TERRIBLE.
  12. L @ Layne_Cobain: @drdrizzy13 my boy from way back is a die hard NOLA fan we have some pretty solid back n forth trash talk thru the years haha
  13. D @ drdrizzy13: lol trust me you will. We are the worst team in the league. I think we had like 24 yards of offense in the first half last week or one week. I haven't seen it this bad since before Drew Brees was QB.
  14. L @ Layne_Cobain: @drdrizzy13 we should dude but for that very reason I’m worried lol you guys already got us once! Good luck tho buddy
  15. Professor_ @ Professor_: Good Morning Everyone
  16. K @ Kon1er: Sorry about that folks
  17. D @ drdrizzy13: Yeah the Saints are my home team. I've been watching them since the 80s. It has been some very rough times. Yall should beat the shit out of us next week. lol
  18. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: That's not a question for shoutbox @Kon1er
  19. Stims King @ Stims King: email updated in the thread
  20. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: @Layne_Cobain You should be. Ride high all week till the next game. You have the Saints coming up. 8-6 would be awesome.
