Fuckin' USPS' Network Distribution Centers: the thread.

I have a package that hasn't updated tracking since December 2nd. Opened a case to trace it after a month and my case was immediately closed because of "COVID" lol. Opened another case on January 12th with no update or contact. Called 8 days ago and customer service acknowledged they did literally nothing with my case. I asked to be contacted with an update, never heard a thing. It mostly stings because it was a Christmas gift for my father. eBay seller has no interest in doing anything for me and I'm afraid I may have to dispute it with them even though it isn't their fault.

Not sure what others are experiencing for overseas mail, but I had a record sent to me from a shop in Germany on November 19 that was just scanned into Jersey City yesterday. I was told everything overseas is shipping sea freight and taking forever. Now let’s see how much longer it takes to get from Jersey to Illinois . . .

I have on last scanned in Germany 12/17 with nothing after that. Hopefully it pops up here in the states soon. Based on your timing I have another month to wait

Mid January I purchased a record from Berlin, Germany and it got to me in ten days, which I was impressed by. Maybe it's because it was going from one major city to another, me being in New York.

 

Flip side of this, I shipped an album to France and it should have went to the main mail center here in Queens, and then right to JFK and onto a plane, as is often the case. Sometime they go to Newark instead. Anyway, here's what is did. Read from the bottom up. Pretty crazy and still not in France after two weeks. I'm not mad, I'm just forever baffled at the time, energy and money wasted on moving something to a destination. Things have definitely improved overall since Christmas time. I've sent a few things to the midwest in nearly record time, so that's really great.

If it makes you feel better there’s a record I sent to France at the beginning of February that hasn’t arrived there either for whatever reason and I’m also in Brooklyn. It hasn’t toured the US like yours but I’m worried there’s a pattern shipping there right now.

Mine arrived in Paris today, so there is some hope in this world, as least for us record junkies.

My December package from Germany was scanned into Jacksonville (my regional destination facility) without any other scans aside from leaving Frankfurt 

 

Now just have to wait for it to get forwarded to my new address (it’s 8 blocks but requires another round trip from Miami-Jacksonville-Miami; what’s another couple days when it’s already 3 months)

I’m pleased to report that after a little over three months (including two messages from USPS that there was not access to my delivery location because one of the words on the address was nearly illegible), I got my record from Germany today. So there’s hope for those patiently waiting.

It's crazy seeing shipping times right now. Actually dealing with someone who bought a 7" from me and is literally losing his shit because it's been 11 days and it hasn't made it to him yet. Cross country as well. First, it's USPS, shit happens. Then covid, then texas.

Lots of shit to get in the way of a record being shipped media mail 2500 miles...

Handed off a 7" box to my mailman here in Brooklyn late afternoon on Monday, that was going to Manchester, UK and to my surprise it was delivered already today.  Technically less than four days. That's a speed record I'll be lucky to top.

My USPS dashboard tells me I have a package coming from "International Bridge Blue Bird" and that the label was recently created in Niagara Falls, NY.  I've been waiting on a package from Spain that can't be tracked through USPS. I'm wondering if International Bridge Blue Bird is maybe the shipping partner for my item from Spain. Anyone had a situation like this before?

Nearly every record I’ve received of late has had a ton of damage to the mailer and a good amount of the jackets have had splits or creases. Partly at fault is bands/labels/shops skimping out with inconceivably poor packing, but it seems like there is even less care than before with parcels. Maybe I’ve just been on an unlucky streak.

This thing bounced around in Miami a few days before finally being delivered. I'm impressed that each scan was only a one-day delay. Could have been waaaaay worse (never forget August 2020)
