USPS Mail Delays ??

<p>[QUOTE="iPen, post: 2322610, member: 69760"]I have about 2.5 dozen coins with unusually long delays with no tracking info updates at all. Besides those, several other coins show updates, but they're slightly longer than I'd expect those to be. Other mail has arrived on time. I'm even getting international orders I made at a later date arriving a few days ago via USPS.

I read that January 17 (tomorrow), the USPS is raising its postage rates. So, perhaps that's causing severe system-wide delays. But, would that long of a delay explain the number of coins from different sellers that I haven't been receiving beyond the expected timeframe? I have two coins from Canada with no shipping update after almost 2 weeks, 3 coins from 3 different sellers where the coins are nowhere to be found after almost 2 weeks, and 23 coins from one seller where the 1-day priority mail package hasn't been updated at all when it went out on Wed. January 13 and the seller is less than an hour's drive from me.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don't think that items are actually getting lost at this frequency, or that they're getting "lost" by the same postal worker (especially since mail from all over the country is not updating).
