I am expecting an order from FlightSketch, placed 11/30, that was due “late 12/17, which was last night. I re-entered tracking request for the tracking number today, 12/18, and got 6 more update texts with the final text repeating that it was due “late 12/17”.

USPS REALLY SUCKS. But, we all know that ...

Now I have the:

''Your item arrived at our PORTLAND, OR 97215 destination facility
on December 18, 2020 at 11:38 am. The item is currently in transit to the destination.''

I guess it can be at the destination facility and in transit to the destination at the same time.

I got my 11/28 order from FlightSketch via USPS, which included a few WL Q-Jets, without any issues, for whatever that's worth.

That reminds me, Russ threw in a bonus, and I haven't thanked him for that yet....

I ordered something from Garmin and it has been 'in transit arriving late" since the 12th. It was originally scheduled for delivery on the 11th. The last known location of it was Kansas City MO.

Figures. Northern Ohio USPS District rates third worst in on-time deliveries.

I ordered a pack of C5-3s and A8-5s, besides an FS Mini. We have NO hobby stores in northern Colorado, and Hobby Lobby won’t have these. I hope those engines are going just from one cold place to another cold place, instead of them getting weeks of temperature cycling.

I guess it can be at the destination facility and in transit to the destination at the same time.



Mine showed up just before noon this morning.
