OP pic is my shipping status for my One:12 Ash. Supposedly arriving today. But they've said that before.

Shipped it to the next town over(ten minute drive) then back to the regional hub an hour and a half away and back again to my town finally.

Nah man, not buying anything these 2 weeks. I buy all my toys from China and when 11/11 hits it all slows down.

I have a DX Laserion in the mail that's somehow still hung up in my local delivery service. Hoping that it gets here this week, but delays are usually common for overseas packages.

Not really a horror story, just USPS being dumb

I shipped something to someone via eBay and it got delayed for five days with no shipping update. Customer sends me an email asking what’s up? I say I’m sorry, and to give me a week and then email me again and we can talk about refunds.

I do something I’ve never done before, which is place a USPS search request for lost mail. They send me an email letting me know they’re looking for the package. Great

Three days later, dude gets the package. Search request still unfulfilled for some reason. Whatever, dude got his package, who cares.

USPS sent me an email every week letting me know that they’re still looking! And to get rid of a search request? Good fucking luck, especially with their new website. Don’t even bother trying to do it via your email or mobile device, things that have both been widely available since 2013. Does the USPS suck dick because of lack of funds or something else? I mean fuck, they couldn’t find a package that at some point in time, they were both looking for AND delivering. So dumb.

Got two SHFs from Mandarake and they never arrived. I had paid for registered so I tried to dispute and get my money back, but all that happened was that USPS and Mandarake endlessly bounced me back and forth, each seemingly trying to get the other to take the blame, until I finally got fed up and just gave up.

This just taught me that I might as well use unregistered shipping. If they don't got my back when the shit hits the fan, what am I even paying extra for?

Last christmas, I bought a Touhou plush off of HLJ and fucking fedex shipped it from Flagstaff to Phoenix for 3 weeks straight. By the time they actually figured out that I don’t even live in Arizona and sent it to my actual address, it was halfway through February.

Not much of a horror story but my Mafex Gwenpool has been in a post office in New York for about three weeks now. This was my first (and probably last) time doing registered SAL, so I guess I got what I paid for.

I'm using a Japanese proxy service for the first time but mail workers are striking again in Canada, I cheaped out on shipping so if it takes a while to arrive I won't know if its the service or the strike.

I bought koto's Nanachi scale from HLJ in March. Kept it in my private warehouse for weeks then shipped it by SAL. Months passed and it wouldn't show up. Turns out my postal service sent it back to Japan, but I got no notice from them nor hlj. I had to email them to arrange shipping again. I paid and got a new tracking number back in September. It still hasn't shown up. It's the first time I've had to wait so long for a SAL shipment. In contrast I bought FAG Sylphy from Hobby Search and it arrived last week.

They're reliable but take forever to get the package out the door. After that it's the SAL lottery unless you spring for EMS. There's a reason they're my third option for Japanese shit.

Canuck here, currently have rotating postal strikes and I'm not sure if I should ship my next item EMS because of it. Typically use RSAL but that already takes a long time and isn't tracked in-country.

From their site:
"Business closed on Sundays, Public Holidays, and every second & third Saturdays of each month. We do not confirm payment or ship your order on these days."

Yeah, I did have the tracking. It just vanished somewhere along the route, never made it to delivered status. Mandarake said I needed USPS to start a claim so they could forward it to Japan post, USPS claimed they don't do such things and I needed to work it out with the site I bought from, this went on and on forever.

tl;dr: lost about $70.

USPS can GPS track the path packages took by the carrier. I've had them do this. Each time they get scanned the are GPS tagged. I had a similar situation happen. Fill out the mail fraud thing on the USPS website.

Currently got two figures that arrived in my country but I haven't had an update for 5-6 days now. Of course, there was a weekend in between.
I am assuming they're just in customs, but I do recall getting a notification of that with prior packages, so I'm a bit unnerved.

I had a goddamned EMS package that flew in to New York and got stuck there a week ago, and hasn't moved since. I'm getting a little salty. It's too early in the holiday hell shipping season for this bullshit.

That's interesting. If it's registered and it's been less than a month I'd say it could still make a sudden appearance (hopefully). I've had things sit in US customs for a week and appear to have stopped moving until the tracking was updated a couple of days later.

Get form 2856 I believe it is. It's for international insurance claims for packages. Your local branch might.have it. If anything, give the main USPS number a call and tell them what's up, they'll tell you what you need to do. I had to do that.

Yes. You can void the label and they will eventually refund you.
