I haven't conducted many trades here, but have definitely noticed this with eBay packages. I have the tracking numbers and can tell where they have started their journey through USPS, but are slow to arrive. So I don't think you are the only one. Just that time of year, I guess.

Matt Kenseth card collection is nearing 50% with over 2300 different cards. Always looking for the missing remainders to get to 100% completion.

Definitely some weird routes. I sent 2 packages the same day. The one to travel farthest is there already. I did have one go from NY to PR to TN. As long as it gets here or there eventually.

You hear all these stories...

...but then you have a case like mine. I ordered a 1989 Topps Wax Box on Sunday, 11/28, it shipped on Monday, 11/29, and I recieved it on Thursday, 12/2. And this is shipping from LA to Concord, NC! Expected delivery when I first ordered it was 2 weeks later!

To quote BigBoyOnWheels, the postal service works (or doesn't) in weird ways.

That's insane. Makes me wonder if the MT got read as MP (for the Northern Marianas) and caught the mishap en route in Guam. Still, the zip should have been the key indicator. Weird.

I've actually mailed things from Guam and CNMI when I traveled there. Its amazing (in general) how fast the mail moves out of there.

I sent a package (non-trade) to Montana, Priority Mail, on 11/30. It went to GUAM, then Hawaii, and is now in Montana (not at the recipient's house yet) after 12 days.

I am still awaiting a package from a trade on here that was shipped on 10/18. I have pretty much given up hope it's not coming.

I haven't had any issues with post on my recent trades, but I am having issues with a record I pre-orderded not shipping out. Every previous time I have bought from the artist's website I recieved the album on release day, but this one hasn't even picked up when I check the tracking info. ------------------------------- I don't like McDonalds, but I'll take all your Big Macs

It's truly a gamble right now. I'm in San Diego, and I made a trade with someone in MA, and my shipment took 4 days to get there, but a trade with someone in Las Vegas took 6 days. Go figure! One trade took almost 5 weeks!!! So at this point, I'm just happy I get the cards. LOL!! ------------------------------- If your response to "Opening Day" is "for what?"... We cannot be friends.
