Pre-Shipment, USPS Awaiting Item

Having same problem on a tractor part. Company uses USPS as standard shipping. Next time I will instruct the seller to ship by UPS or Fedex, pay a little more but it's worth it! No more USPS!
 
I placed an order June 1 from the UK. The item would fit easily in an envelope. It was shipped via DHL and It still shows in transit.
 
Shipping delays are a PITA. But it's even more frustrating when I see my own package not *delayed* in shipping - but bouncing back and forth between the same two points!
 
It's the unlimited power of BCF! Out for Delivery!
(Pay no attention to the 8:19am Wednesday segment showing delivery scheduled for Tuesday ...)

I recently bought a toy tractor off of Ebay to set out for my grand kids. It left MN and promptly traveled across country to PA before coming to OK.
 
I had one I sent out once that came back a month later, postmarked on the wrong side of the country in several cities saying address did not exist. I guess they never noticed the city, state and zip were back east...

I feel; your pain. I think I posted a grip about something similar a while back.

I sent a key fob to the UK to be repaired. It was sent back promptly in a small envelope and landed in customs within a couple of days, where, presumably, it sat for 8 months before arriving.

That’s a long time!
My package was sent via DHL. I can track it as far as “arriving in the United States”. Then it goes via USPS untrackable. The sad thing is that the seller could have just put it in an envelope and mailed it.
 
I have received two shipments from the UK with parts since the tariffs started. Both have required me to pay about 10% in customs and then it sits in the DHL warehouse awaiting release for about 2 days before release. So 10% more in cost and 2 days extra in delivery.

So my package (envelope) arrived yesterday. Many, many days late. Fleabay automatically issued me a refund because they don’t show it as “delivered”. Duh, it was sent without tracking so how would they know?
This morning I contacted the seller and sent him his payment.
