I just want to give people a little insight on things, because sometimes I think people just assume packages magically appear at their doors. Remember, it is a week before Christmas in the middle of the biggest pandemic we have had in 100 years. To top it all off, we have a postmaster that is actively trying to sabotage the USPS for political and monetary gain. Hundreds of sorting machines were removed and destroyed at USPS facilities all over the nation before the election. I am not going to get into the political motivations of it, but the facts of the matter are undisputed. The entire US postal system has been effectively brought to its knees. We are seeing backlogs and tracking issues that we have never before experienced. To say it is bad is putting it mildly. Take a look at the below post.
You can see it on many subs right now.

Anyone experiencing delays with FedEx right now? I'm assuming its because of the weather storms, but its been 9 days without a tracking update! 😭

Yes, it is a big problem across the board because of the snow storms. FedEx has their own snow plows they are using to clear runways for their planes, but there is a massive backlog through the network. We are trying to get updates from our rep to get a better idea of when it will be rectified. Trust me, we are doing everything we can to push for updates and a resolution to the issue. I wish I had more control over things once they leave our hands, but I am just as powerless as everyone else when weather events screw up the supply network. I am pushing them, though.
