The other IC lot is sitting in Atlanta still.. I don't want to talk about that one too.... Sorry about the rant.
I can relate. Mid-December I found a NOS motherboard for my new Win7 workstation build. The seller is in Virginia. We agreed on price, and he shipped it Priority 2-Day the same day. He sent me the USPS tracking number. I would have it in two business days. Online tracking confirmed it was "in the system".
And there it sat.
Stuck in a distribution center in Virginia.
For
three weeks.
Meanwhile I had ordered all of the other components. I started to worry that their warranties might run out before I got a chance to even test them.
I filed a formal complaint with the USPS. Got a phone call the same day, so I can't fault their response time! The story was that a combination of Christmas time shipping and COVID-19 absences meant shipping containers were parked in rows in storage areas, with nobody to unload and process them. He estimated it would be mid-January at best for Priority packages. Standard shipping wasn't expected to process until sometime in February. I would receive notification when it started moving again.
Nothing else happened for many days, then I got a message. Not that it had finally started moving, but that it had been delivered! Sure enough, there it was in the mailbox. I've since assembled the system and it's working fine so far.
So yeah, I can definitely relate to shipping delays. Even when you spend extra money for Priority shipping.
