Honestly was just stating where I was in getting mine. It is weird tho all the USPS processes and how stuff like that even happens. Usually it's simply due to someone not scanning something like they're supposed to more than lack of personnel on-hand. I'm not trying to put you down or anything like that at all. I get and understand the excitement of wanting something that's new but you have to put other bigger, important things happening outside of record collecting as a priority. Plus, this is coming from Illinois, which is struggling HARD right now. Edited August 4, 2020 by cesar11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any record I’ve ordered post-covid sits at my local distribution center for at least a week. Definitely have been times I’ve been annoyed when it reaches the 2 week or more mark, but such is our current world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracking updated on 7/27 that package was received and "pending acceptance". Not a single damn scan or update since. Soooooo YAY ME!!! It's like shipping Russian roulette - we'll see when and if it ever shows up Mine is exactly the same situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was really just agreeing with what you said about being patient right now with everything going on #mobile 4 minutes ago, aopps42 said: Any record I’ve ordered post-covid sits at my local distribution center for at least a week.

Pretty much everything I've had coming to me, except Amazon stuff is delayed. I work in Supply Chain, so it's always made me wonder how their system processes are set and are meant to work, and how everything going on with COVID has affected it.

A worker at one post office mentioned to me for a record I sold, that media stuff is really being delayed right now. It sounded like they are focusing on everything else and media is getting pushed to the back, which makes sense to me since they are a discounted shipping rate.

I dont really care if its delayed. It sounds like there may have been an entire batch of these that were dropped off, scanned in and then put aside until later.

bridley Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Re: all USPS mail woes. Isn't your government appointed USPS leadership currently, actively, and purposely making terrible service speed/delays a thing? Heaped on top of covid-19 protocols I can't imagine anyone being caught off guard at mail delays right now. Also, this splatter is wonderful! Waiting on my new turntable to arrive before playing it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethanpricington Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 (edited) 2 hours ago, museummouth said: Anyone else’s still stuck as “shipment accepted”? Yep. Although I get the delay with everything going on. Seems like more than that. I’ve gotten plenty of records in the past 5 months and although overall they take longer, none ever jus sat at any point without movement for 15 business days. And if “media is being delayed”, why are some of my records moving as normal from labels/distributors and this one not? That’s all I’m saying - the lack of consistency, although not necessarily surprising, is what has me AT LEAST wondering what’s happened with this specific batch. ok?!?! 😛 Edited August 9, 2020 by ethanpricington Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billya Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 It sounds like the order was accepted, the scan sheet was scanned and then the post office didn't scan them after that. It could be that they're sitting at that particular sort facility waiting to be scanned again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Failed state doing failed state things. I'm in Canada and received mine almost two weeks ago, but it was delivered by DHL(in the us)/T-Force (in canada). Also, I feel like this is one of the few "old" albums that I have bought recently that came with a DL code. Kind of happy about it as I feel like the files I have had of this album are the same files I downloaded in like 2003 and just moved from device to device...

I understand stuff taking longer because of covid, most records have been taking a few days longer but what’s to come could be much worse. This does seem like a lost pallet though as two weeks now with no movement is a little weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatsNJazz Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 I bought a few records from polyvinyl last week which shipped from Illinois and I received them today, which is strange because I'm pretty sure the last I checked my tracking on this record, it's stuck in Illinois since July 27th, so it's confusing how some packages are making it out and some are just stuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corey. Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 So I ordered a splatter and galaxy separately. I paid for priority shipping (DHL) for one, and media for the other. They've both been in the same situation regardless of the postal carrier (sitting since July 27th or whatever) Not sure what's going on.
