"Item bagged" and "Origin is preparing shipment" from India

[BamaBlue65]

These are my last updates from India Post/EMS/USPS, out of Mumbai, India as of December 5th, 2020. I know with the pandemic going on, and Christmas season now in full swing, there are many shipping delays, both domestic here in the US, and from exports overseas, but shouldn't I have already had an update in my tracking by now?? On the norm during any other time of year, there is only an average of 2-4 days between the time it's dispatched from Mumbai, India and the next update once it arrives here in the US, at JFK Airport/Customs, in New York City, NY. It has already been a full week now, without an update, since December 5th. Is this kind of delay average for the Christmas holiday season? My last vaping supplies only took a total of 8 days to reach my mailbox, this was shortly before Thanksgiving, not even 3 weeks ago...
Any input to my situation will be greatly appreciated. Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas, as well as a Happy New Year!!!

You should worry if there is no 1st carrier scan which proves carrier received the item from you. Otherwise you can wait and watch how it goes. I assume you've already contacted CSR of carrier.
