Very curious. Latest tracking number info says "Label created, not yet in system." Label before that said the same thing plus "Waiting for shipper to furnish package." Two previous said "In transit". Seller said he'd ship another one. I told him to hold off. What is going on? Meanwhile, I got my Mastercard bill showing $18 charge.

I had a book lost out of a busted USPS delivered package, looked like they'd kicked the box from the shipper to me. The company I bought from shipped another. It never arrived and the USPS tracking showed it went unknown. So two copies of it are, "somewhere"... Other items before and after from the same company have arrived with no issue, so I'm at a loss to understand why this one title. Least the company I was buying from issued a refund since neither could be found.
I feel your pain.. I am waiting for a new super bright bike headlamp. Ordered over a month ago. Tracking said it was exported by EMS from the Netherlands shipping center May 1... and somehow disappeared. Then suddenly I got a notification that it reached EMS Israel yesterday. 1 full month for a 5 hour flight. Will be interesting to see how long the 1 hour drive from the airport takes.
By the way last time I bought tubes, I used "Tube Depot" > Analog In < They were very quick and really worked hard to correct what may have been my mistake. I would happily use the again.

Well, if you figure 1 month for 5 hours, then that will be something like 6 days for the one hour....

Ordered a mirror for the RV. They shipped and gave me the UPS tracking #. Said it would be here Monday. Didn't arrive. I checked the UPS site and it said it was delivered Monday at 7:14 PM at the front door, while I was eating dinner inside by the front door. On Tuesday, I filed a claim online saying I thought it was delivered to another address.
Tuesday evening, my neighbor three doors down brought it over. I thanked him and tried to cancel the claim. No way online to cancel the claim. Tried calling, can't talk to a person.. I could, however, submit additional documentation online, so I wrote a memo and sent as additional documentation.

It's almost impossible to talk to a person anywhere anymore. Really irritating at best. The rules won't let me say what I really want to say. I ordered a simple switch from England on May 20 this year. they delivered it to the Royal Mail 5/21 who delivered it to the US MaIL IN Chicago 5/23. Since then it is delivery delayed but "in transit." I'm pretty sure I could walk it from Chicago to Oklahoma City in that much time. Certainly could do it with a bicycle.

I had a book disappear out of a package, one end broken open. I was able to get a hold of a person with the company and explained that one book was gone and the rest of the order had survived. They sent another, this was the week before New Years. By the end of January I hadn't gotten it so called again. They said it had gone out and to wait another 2-3 weeks due to shipping delays. so the end of February called again as it hadn't arrived. They declined to try again and issued a refund. So I wasn't out anything but time. So here it is almost July and God knows where either copy may be. I decided it wasn't really worth spending more time on.

I ordered an internal park switch for my Lucas wiper motor from England May 20. It was handed to the British Royal Mail May 21 who then delivered it to the USPS in Chicago, IL May 23. Since that time it has been "In transit to next destination." It finally arrived in Oklahoma City last night at 9:25 and is expected to be delivered by 8:00 pm today, July 1. That's 39 days to make the roughly 800 miles from Chicago to here or about 20 miles per day. I suspect any worthy mail man could easily walk 20 miles per day but I question why they would choose that method.
Well obviously not an All American 5
If this is the second tube which doesn't heat up I think you need to check that the socket is getting 6v electric for the heating element and that the socket is making contact. Sounds like the other tube are lighting up. Are they all 6 series tubes? (6 volt heater elements) so there is only one heater circuit? Remember tube circuits have HIGH VOLTAGE DC they can easily take you out of this world... be careful poking around.
