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. Wicked @ Wicked: Monero isn’t a bad idea imo. I’ve asked a few times to use it and been denied actually
  2. M @ Mammasboi123: There’s been some rule
  3. P @ ProtekPhilipe: Should vendors here start prioritizing monero for payment? And maybe show site links for sponsored member threads only. It's a tiny defense, but any way to stay lower key would help right now
  4. etizoman @ etizoman: God fucking dann. Just read the article. Definitely RIP to their normal lives ever again. Both C and R were Amazing people and have provided a lot of great times and some personal wisdom thru their products. And what @Wicked said, its true, man. Sucks you gotta kinda be paranoid when you reach a certain level of status....
  5. Wicked @ Wicked: I agree, it’s unfortunate and a loss for many of us, you’re right R was one of the best. Hopefully it serves as a reminder to others to always stay on top of things. I’m sure it’s easy to get comfortable and feel unstoppable when you reach a certain level as an author
  6. ms3031 @ ms3031: Its unfortunate for everyone but tbh, as with most things illegal, they eventually fall either by their own hand or LE, there are some rare success people but whose to say who is working with authorities and who is not. In fact thjs entire forum creates an easy access to the people they want just a much as we want them. Nothing can be done for those who fly too close to the sun.
  7. ms3031 @ ms3031: F
  8. M @ Mammasboi123: Really sad regardless of the sloppy opsec.. ròć was one of the best vêñdòrs on this forum
  9. M @ Mammasboi123: God dammit that’s so fucked… very very sloppy and half assed op based on the article .. not going to link it here.. just go to DuckDuckGo and search vendor’s name + dřůġ bũşť.. lots of details already public record
  10. D @ Dextrobeats: Looks like they are hitting that host client.
  11. Z @ zdaBa: Roc*
  12. Z @ zdaBa: I thought CNC just took his stuff down voluntary unlike RX I hope I'm right
  13. Wicked @ Wicked: Does anyone have an article for CNC I read the R one….just curious if it’s similar. It sounded like some sloppy moves tbh but it happens
  14. Wicked @ Wicked: No way, more will come they already are.
  15. P @ Poppycock: Damn chem in chains too??!
  16. L @ Layne_Cobain: Holy shit! Seriously!? What a Fkn blow 😞
  17. Thoth @ Thoth: We lost two solid homies today R.I.P.
  18. L @ Layne_Cobain: I hope so too Fkn crazy 🤦
  19. Y @ Yaugae5121: :-// no good. I really hope this dude was wrong when he told me that
  20. L @ Layne_Cobain: R u serious his site isn’t coming up either had me wondering if something happened or just coincidence smh
