So first thank you for sending me a tracking number, but...

Shipment Received, Package Acceptance Pending
SPRING, TX 77386
Your shipment was received at 5:16 pm on June 14, 2019 in SPRING, TX 77386. The acceptance of your package is pending.

Shipping Label Created, USPS Awaiting Item
SPRING, TX 77386
This shows it’s still pending acceptance from the 14th.
My wife ordered something from Florida via media mail, and we got it in three days...
I would say there is something wrong here, but would ask first if the others have received anything that have posted.
Thanks

It is what everyone's tracking number says on USPS, when you google it they show in transit. They are 5-10 business days (which I let everyone know from the get go) is what I was told, mailed 6/14. This week would be 10 business days. USPS is notorious for updating tracking when the package is delivered. Your wife's package getting to you in three days is quick, especially media mail, but it's also all about where the package is sent from. I'm in Texas. From Holly Springs, NC where you are at, even if the package came from Miami, it is still 500 miles closer than it is to Spring, TX. Jacksonville, FL to you is more like 800 miles difference. It probably took three days just to get out of Texas. Media Mail does in fact take up to 10 days, as per what I was told confirmed by what I have found online. Even if it was 8, we are on business day 6. I would have been more than willing to send these overnight, but nobody offered to pay for that. I understand you want the poster, but I have followed up as promised on every PM and email we have exchanged, as well as got the posters out the day I promised. I can send you a copy of the receipt with your name and address you provided, if you like. USPS will not guarantee their shipment time frames.

I appreciate that. I have decided not to get any more posters. I work full time and this has become more of a hassle than the $2/poster I'm making is worth.

Copied from an ecommerce website as it may relate here too...
"Note that the USPS online tracking system is often times terribly inaccurate and may not show the progress of your order until delivered. The USPS online package tracking system has a history of displaying inaccurate information, even stating that a package has been delivered when clearly it has not. In instances like this, the package is typically delivered with a few business days. The best thing to do in such cases is to be patient with the USPS because after all it is run by the US Government."
Oh, the joys of the United States Postal Service.

I ordered all 3 posters, red, blue, & yellow, from the National Corvette Museum for $5 each and had them in a few days. They even had a few other very cool posters that I bought on sale for 99 cents each. Received them in a few days after I ordered them.
I'm guessing these were obtained from the same place. Where else would GM posters come from?

Thanks HorsePower Junkie: I guess one can only call it a lesson learned! Thanks for sharing!

Mailed was delivered today and no posters and tracking not updating. I've had deliveries in the last two weeks from Florida, South Carolina, California, Alabama, Missouri, Washington DC and all have arrived within 4-7 days and much larger items. This is day 13 and doesn't make sense coming from Texas. I guess the Texas USPS is having major problems to get a little tube mailed from Texas to Michigan.

They are starting to roll in, I've received a few more confirmations, and show that even @ttomczak also was delivered today (within the 10 business days promised). This is business day 9 of the delivery. Again, it's media mail, it's slow, it's the US Federal Gov't...the federal government thanks you for your patience. And apparently tracking isn't updating for anyone until they are actually delivered. That's a USPS issue and it has been like that for a long time.

Media Mail,is that a special kind of mailing?
I actually have had great experience sending and receiving and tracking packages through USPS and this is the first I have experienced something like this in a long time and that was when there were severe weather emergencies across the country.
Again, is media mail something different or a special cheaper kind of mailing and thus why it takes longer?

But the tracking sucks on it, it’s no better than first class (government oxymoron). Priority or priority express is typically the only decent tracking service they offer.
