I sent a regular envelope from the UK to the US on September 23rd. Low value, no tracking, experienced buyer arrived today! 2 months later. I’m grateful for understanding buyers, but it’s not good.
I remember you showing the items you took to auction. You had pulled over into a park of some sort and showed them out of the back of your truck. The wood clock was cypress. And the fishing stuff was kinda discolored old new stock. I think you showed the stained glass windows too. I'm glad the items sold.
My carrier said it has started off rough. She said she has 1000 stops on her route. She said on this past Saturday she had so many packages that she loaded her mail jeep up as full as she could. 1/3 of the way she had someone bring her another full load then 3/4 of yhe way through they brought another full load. She said it has been crazy for the past week and shipping season is just getting started. She said on Friday she didn't make ot back to the post office until 8 pm and by then the mail truck had already picked up.
@@rosemarymee they do get overtime but it is frowned upon and if it is reoccurring they get reprimanded. But it's not her fault. She says she can't wait till she retires next year. I however will be soooo sad.
@@AngelaLucas-co4rl She sounds like a really conscientious person. Your Postal Service sounds as bad as ours in Britain- poor management and relying too much on the goodwill of the staff to keep things going.
I notice if I have a package where the tracking isn't updating, I go to the USPS tracking page and have text or email updates sent to me, and it often seems to get things moving. It could be a coincidence, but I feel the search triggers something. I hope your packages get moving through the system!
Good to hear it’s not just me! Dropped off a package a few days ago and it hasn’t moved at all from my local USPS. Besides the receipt scan there is nothing. First time this has happened to me and I have a very small store so I’m scared of the negative feedback 😢
We recently mailed a small flat rate priority box on a Tuesday, took it to the counter and purchased the postage as it was personal, it did not get to the location, Texas to Michigan, until Monday. Almost a week. So much for priority really making a difference on when a package gets to its location.
I had one deliver 4 days later than it should have and I did keep my customer informed ant that was about 2 weeks ago. It was to go to lower south part of Alabama but the tracking showed in this order - left Texas, Georgia, Alabama, Georgia, Indiana.... 4 days no track then Alabama, DELIVERED... She was so calm but I think it was my proactiveness. 😊
Those really are "Darling" Elves. I had the same USPS delivery issue on just one package so far that was finally delivered today but was supposed to be delivered by last Monday.
Just had the same issue last week. Item was supposed to go to SC, out went to Portland and all the while the tracking said post office was waiting on the item.
the auction did quite well really, have you thought about buying another storage locker and keeping the good stuff for ebay than the not so good stuff put in the auction and the rubbish either donate or scrap i am sure the auction stuff would cover the cost of a locker and the ebay stuff would be gravy.
If you are worrying about Ground Advantage taking too long don’t try sending a baseball card through EBay Standard Envelope. It’s not uncommon for them to take 20 days to get there. It’s already pushing the limit but now with the holidays here who knows when they will arrive.
I’m running into the same issue shipping out of Birmingham, AL. I’ve got 3-4 items from before the 10th that have not been delivered and about 20 items that I shipped on November 20th that were scanned as delivered to a PO box in Birmingham 30 minutes after I left the post office. There’d been no update since then and I’ve had to reach out to buyers explaining it was just a misscan then I went to the post office today and had them check tracking and they said the items were in transit, but slow delivery and incorrect scans are a double whammy.
I'am in Ca. and I shipped a package to Washington, Two weeks later I got a message from the buyer. Had not received. Checked tracking and it had been sitting in New Jersey, clear across the country. It finely moved after 11 days.
I had a similar issue. Shipped to TX, item ended up in Oregon, getting scanned in 5 different cities including back and forth from Eugene to portland twice, before finally making it to texas. I am guessing it got put on the wrong plane.
I had a $500 sale a month ago for an item I paid just under $100. The tracking just said Seller has created label, Post office awaiting package. It did not update until it was out for delivery on the other side of the country. Luckily, the buyer's girlfriend is a seller so he was really cool about it. I was sweating it, though.
I’m having the same problem in Alabama. I have been submitting missing mail requests as well when it becomes over a week delayed. That is getting it moving for some reason. It’s aggravating.
Im down in St. Bernard Parish and I ordered something on eBay from a seller in Michigan on the 13th. It was suppose to come in 2 days but it never did. I finally got an email this morning saying it's out for delivery today.
I’ve been having the same problem with usps lately and there response to me was the hurricanes I spoke with the post master and also put in a few claims for lost packages and was declined some packages are still lost since sept 9th
I message buyers when the package reaches 7-8 days in transit and have saved myself a lot of negative comments. Proactive rather than reactive. If they reach out first then they are angry.
awesome! i agree, customers are much more patient when you are proactive with communicating about it. We don't normally check tracking once we ship but we might need to for the rest of the year.
I had a problem with USPS loosing my american bubble boy tape and had to request a refund. It was also shipping GA (ground advantage) and still needing my tape. I just will have to pay extra for better shipping if offered.
I sell a lot of patches that I ship in EBay Standard Envelopes, and the tracking on those is abysmal- almost non-existent. At last count there were 13 patches I am certain have been delivered, but the seller's hub still shows them as shipped but not delivered. I've had four patches this year take over 28 days to get to the customer- fortunately I'm proactive and keep in contact with the buyer, so there haven't been any cancellations. If you pull up the tracking on any patch during shipment, you get one entry- on its way to buyer. I have to use these envelopes, or else I'm charging $4.35 for shipping to my competitor's $1.25. That's death on a $9 item. Looking around on social media and the message boards you see complaint after complaint after complaint. eBay should really do better.
I had the same thing happen with some of my sold items. I got 10 packages picked up on the same day & all of them said picked up & shipped but no tracking info. Took 3 weeks & 1 has been lost never found. This was in early Nov. So idk what's going on with USPS but it's not looking good.
Ebay standard envelope is definitely sketchy. Over the years we have only had a handful of actual issues thankfully. The tracking is horrendous for sure.
I'm waiting for a package now not from eBay but from Amazon the seller is decent I've dealt with them in the past always got great service and they shipped via osm horrible company but the gave it to USPS 16 days in transit from California to Arizona very bad shipping right now
Every time I drop items off at the post office I consider it a miracle anything makes it to its destination.
I for one will be sad when all the All Italiana books are sold. 😂 I love hearing Candace belt that out! 😂
I got notification that a package of mine is out for delivery today. I've been tracking it for 15 days now. Been everywhere but my house so far
I was hoping you would show how the curlers did! Pretty Creative! Keep up the Good Work!
The Elves really do look creepy. 🤣

Poor soul! Does she get overtime for that?

I agree. Gets a scan within 24 hours almost every time.
Creepy Elves: have to go with Lonnie on this one. Not only a bit creepy, but their facial expressions make them look like they're drunk or stoned. 😉
I have looked at these elves too, but I also have too much stuff!

Hope have a good Thanksgiving...will honk as I go by Denham Springs...:-)
I also have had delayed delivery & problematic tracking updates recently. Let’s pray USPS clears up the log jam asap
What about “Guy” … I have not see a purchase on your channel from him in months ? Is he okay ? How about some feedback on “Guy”
Yes, you showed us those auction items..
yeah I came to say the same thing
You just showed my sweat shirt. Lol in today Wahoo. Much love and hugs.😊
I had the carrier pick up two packages today, both Christmas presents. I figured if I shipped now they'd get there in time.
I had one deliver 4 days later than it should have and I did keep my customer informed ant that was about 2 weeks ago. It was to go to lower south part of Alabama but the tracking showed in this order - left Texas, Georgia, Alabama, Georgia, Indiana.... 4 days no track then Alabama, DELIVERED...

Even all my Amazon orders I have bought have been delivered to me a few days later than originally quoted.
Those really are "Darling" Elves. I had the same USPS delivery issue on just one package so far that was finally delivered today but was supposed to be delivered by last Monday.
When you said LEGOS, I replied LEGO, and then you corrected yourself 😅. Thank you, that's one of my bug bears 😅😅
haha yeh i knew i'd better correct myself although when i'm not on camera i will usually says legos out of habit.
Just had the same issue last week. Item was supposed to go to SC, out went to Portland and all the while the tracking said post office was waiting on the item.
I had a USPS Priority Mail package take 10 days to be delivered, shipped from Ohio to a Ohio address. Buyer left me neutral feedback!
the auction did quite well really, have you thought about buying another storage locker and keeping the good stuff for ebay than the not so good stuff put in the auction and the rubbish either donate or scrap i am sure the auction stuff would cover the cost of a locker and the ebay stuff would be gravy.
I just started Nov 1 and have sold at least one item a day. $300 a day would be like winning the lottery 😂

Sounds like a local problem, I’d call my postmaster on that.

Saw the packing video before the pulling video 😆

[pauses play to check own delivery status] phew, all ok.
We just had an item no scan for 4 days. USPS finally showed delivered. Customer has contacted US after 3 days

Some delays of 1-2 days so far. After this weekend I expect things to get slower
I would worry because like I'm getting the loony tunes hoodie today and you just show it here today. 😮
I remember the footage of the auctioned stuff, I think it was the video in that green space, where you had already everything in your car.
Found it. Video: "Time to GET RID of our Death Pile and Slow Moving EBAY Inventory" starting aroud 13:30.
Pretty good payout from the Auction 👍😊

I sold one of those Darling elves a couple weeks ago. They all look an awful lot like Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Jim "Catfish" Hunter was one of the best Pitchers of all time.
I have ordered several off Ebay and it was ground advantage and took forever.
What makes them creepy? Look at them 😂😂😂😂😂
I’ve had that same problem with USPS. I’ve had multiple people message me asking why I haven’t shipped.
You showed those auctions items out of the back of your truck
Have you considered all the bad weather? Any going to areas where the hurricanes have closed some areas?
awesome! i agree, customers are much more patient when you are proactive with communicating about it. We don't normally check tracking once we ship but we might need to for the rest of the year.
OMG I would have had to keep the elves.
I had a problem with USPS loosing my american bubble boy tape and had to request a refund. It was also shipping GA (ground advantage) and still needing my tape. I just will have to pay extra for better shipping if offered.
"Italiana!" 🍝

That's what happens when you brag on the postal service!
Some packages had delays after the 2 hurricane
So you are saying I caused it? 😂
I have issues with usps every holiday season.
I've had a package out for delivery since Nov 12th...
I had ordered that was supposed to be delivered from another eBayer and it is still not here and it was supposed to be here the 20th
I had the same thing happen with some of my sold items. I got 10 packages picked up on the same day & all of them said picked up & shipped but no tracking info. Took 3 weeks & 1 has been lost never found. This was in early Nov. So idk what's going on with USPS but it's not looking good.

I wanted to clear up my work area. I'm liking it.
