USPS shipments during Covid

i had one there for two months before all of this going on. so it could be that plus some.

Like a month of delay in an USPS shipping, it’s stuck awaiting for scan to be delivered since March 7

My local PO doesn’t have employees…packages have been extremely slow

I am still getting items from all over.

Honestly what the hell is going on in Chicago customs. Me and MANY others have packages stuck there for over 2 weeks

Got a paper from my local USPS stating they will not be shipping to these countries for the time being.

Botswana, Cayman Islands, Chad, Ecuador, Fiji, French Polynesia, Honduras, India, Kuwait, Libya, Madagascar, Maldives, Mongolia, New Caledonia, Panama, Peru, Samoa, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Bolivia, Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe

My tracked package to Ireland just disappeared from Newark on March 6th apparently on it’s way to Dublin, and still no tracking updates … An Post has no info. Just weird! No one at USPS seems to have any info on where it went … another tracked, signature confirmed packaged went poof into thin air in Massachusetts. Just very weird … never seen this level of sloppiness before from USPS

I think you might be underestimating the French Polynesian market there Gary…

same here, my package was sent on the 20.03.2020 from a post office in Virginia, last update was on the 24.03.2020, since then nothing.

I had another package send from Texas with UPS, two days later it was already in Switzerland.

Thats funny, I´m also waiting for an USPS package which is sitting at Chicago since the 15th of March! Glad I´m not alone haha!

Yea I mean I guess you probably haven’t shipped to these countries and I’m not sure if I have besides India.

I’m now seeing a slowdown in the amount of time the shipments are taking to be processed

i saw on USPS’s website that they are limited in some countries to deliver items from the US. Not gonna really affect our Pokemon market, but I bet many countries have increased time for processing due to impact of the virus spread.

Sent a pretty high value card to Germany a couple days ago which I was pretty nervous about. Used the “international priority” option and it got there no problem within 3-4 days. Thought I’d throw that out there.

I’ve had a parcel sent to me from the US to Aus on March 19th. It still says it’s in the US at the Chicago distribution centre. I’ve also sent 2 parcels about 2 weeks ago to the US and they haven’t even left Aus despite bing express post. Is anyone experiencing these delays?

All of my sales have shipped successfully during the outbreak so far.

Chicago seems to be massively backlogged, if it leaves from another distribution center it goes pretty smoothly from what I´ve seen and experienced so far.

Most of my domestic stuff seems to be delayed a day or so, not too bad

I’m shipping very expensive sealed packs and graded cards praying nothing gets “lost”
