The PO takes it sweet time in some cases. Here is one of my generic responses I keep handy for folks emailing me 5-10 days after they paid asking where their stuff is.
============
The PO is funny sometimes.
I have had packages to Dallas take 2 days and I have had packages
to Dallas take 27 days. That is my all time record next to 36 days
to NYC last year.
Normally packages take generally 2-6 business days. Some do take longer.
It's not uncommon to see a 10-15 day delivery or longer in the US. Why? no one knows.
The PO cannot tell you why. Mainly it's because:
1. it was routed incorrectly, (Alaska instead of Alabama)
2. fell off a conveyor belt and is hiding behind/under something till it's discovered
3. stuck at the bottom of a bag/cart when emptied and won't be discovered till the bag/cart is used again.
4. Lost (rarely happens - 3 times in 10 years for my deliveries)
5. delivered but someone at the residence put it on top of the piano, in the closet or some other place the other party does not know about. (happens quite a lot)
6. delivered to a neighbors house by mistake (happens but not a lot)
#5 is very common!!
Your package left Friday Dec 11 so it has only been in the system for 5 business days now.
No worries, I'm sure the PO will be delivering it anytime now. Out of 11,000 plus shipments the PO has lost just 3 of them. Many were slow to be delivered but eventually they made it.
Let's give the PO another week to ten days at a minimum. If it does not show up by then I'll send a replacement and if the original shows up afterwards I'll pay you to return it to me.
I know it sounds weird, but even in the US its not uncommon for me to see 15-20 day plus delivery times 9 or 10 times a year (for whatever reason) out of 2500 packages shipped.
Cheers,
