I haven't noticed any issues as of yet in the US. If an original route was disrupted for some reason the re routing can really cost some time though. Not getting "real" updates isn't so uncommon it'd worry me. It usually just means it's not stopping anywhere just being routed. I have some family working for USPS and they're not having any special issues related to covid-19 but are, like usual, somewhat understaffed. With the increased shipping from covid-19 I'm sure things might not seem to move as quickly at busier locations. How far across the US was it going? |

I have had 2 Digi-Key orders delivered to Brisbane, Australia from Thief River Falls, Minnesota in record time in the last week. UPS is very fast right now. Took 3 days, usually takes 4. |

yup, I have books, toys, and parts, either already delayed or will be once the get here |

I prefer buying with tracking, even if it costs a few euros more, but this year, I've seen packages simply vanish on the way; and some showing just the initial record ("tracking number provided"). Among the twenty or so orders this year, a third (six or seven) have been a no-show! Annoying as hell. I just noticed that one of the packages I ordered (for 6€) from eBay hasn't arrived, with 22nd the expected arrival date, but since it has been 62 days since the initial order, there does not seem to be any way to report the order either... |

AFAIK you can use eBay's Resolution Center up to 30 days after it should have arrived. Edit: Contact the seller and ask for a refund. If you don't get a refund within maybe a couple of days, contact the seller again and say that you will use the Resolution Center if you don't get a refund within e.g. two days. |
