USPS EMS TN, never delivered, Package acceptance pending

[kiro1234]

I'm not sure if anyone has run into this situation before but has anyone ever had at TN that just never tracked properly?

The last it says is "Accepted, package acceptance pending"

That's all it said all day, then when I get home and never arrived and was not with the regular mail.

But it's going West coast to East coast so maybe the time zone is different and although it's after 3 p.m. which is there guaranteed time always.....

It's only a little after 3 p.m. where it was sent from in that time zone.

So my question is has anyone ever ran into this has anyone had and EMS deliver late? Or is it quite common maybe around the holiday times for an EMS to not come in on your regular mail truck and actually end up coming in later?

Please advise

Patience patience patience.  Think of what a cluster your local PO is to begin with, multiply that by the holiday volume and then assuming it is a PME shipment, that FredEx is on their game for the air route across the country.  Even after pickup, there are host of scenarios where it could get stuck and you just have to wait.

I’ve had it take an entire day for it to update past that and it meant that it was still at the post office and once it moved, the tracking updated. I wouldn’t worry too much. Trust me I’ve had this issue before.

I've always really loved it that my main vendor uses USPS priority. My post lady loves me and never says anything when she hands me packets with my address but with an alias that she knows isn't my name. Just flirt with your postal worker if need be. I got mine a Christmas present. You gotta keep everyone happy!
