Who has shipped with Priority Mail "certified" recently?

[iluvfish2]

Ok...very curious has anyone had anything come recently by "certified" mail with tracking? Shouldnt this get updates like everything else? I will say the other three packages that were shipped along with this one are showing the same thing (or lack there of showing

Below is what I have.

In Transit, Arriving Late
Your package will arrive later than expected, but is still on its way. It is currently in transit to the next facility.

July 15, 2020, 4:45 pm
USPS in possession of item
SAINT LOUIS, MO 63146

To be honest I've got red flags all over it as it should have an assortment of tracking scans (and honestly be delivered given it was Priority and shipped on the 15th of July).

I'll give the USPS its delays on stuff but Priority typically hasnt been delayed just first class, but it should of moved at least on the 16, 17 18, 20, and now 21 with no updates (package itself is only going from St. Louis to Michigan) so a 7 hour trip.

I've already gotten first class mail shipped before this thats arrived and was farther away!

There is no guarantee that any scans will happen enroute. I have found priority seems to be where the biggest delays have been occuring at. Especially in the Mid West.

They are having issues with having enough trucks to move mail from one point to another. Some parts of the country it is backed up for a couple of days just leaving the processing centers.

I haven’t sent anything priority in a bit but I did buy something that was shipped priority 3 day and it took 8 days to arrive after the acceptance scan

Might be. I know one of my more recent Priority Mail Issues was shipped on June 12 (USPS Possession on June 13)...arrived July 6. My favorite on that one was this:

June 23, 2020, 3:00 pm
Arrived at USPS Regional Facility
OMAHA NE DISTRIBUTION CENTER

June 23, 2020, 2:22 pm
Processing Exception
ELK GROVE VILLAGE IL DISTRIBUTION CENTER

So we got from an exception to another state in 38 minutes. This is almost 7 hours away (about 90 min plane flight, so maybe if crossing a time zone this would be correct). Then nothing until July 5th when I get the Transit notice...and July 6 its out for delivery.

I know but some buyers are worry warts and think any anomaly is a scam on the sellers part. We see it on these boards.

I have about 80% of my packages receiving and delivering (priority Mail) as arriving late. Which never happens.
