I got a few Slave I this last week after just a week of placing the order. Order was shipped through FedEx as usual so thankfully mine didn’t get routed to USPS...

On Thursday, I placed a PAB (not Brick and Pieces) order large enough to get the Ice Rink and Holiday GWPs.  After ordering, I thought that I had messed up and should have ordered a keychain or something to ensure that the GWPs were mailed out while waiting for the PAB order.  So I was surprised to receive a shipment order email yesterday for just the GWPs.  And, I woke up to this email this morning:

Isn’t pick a brick usually excluded from GWP?

No, common misconception.   Bricks and Pieces is excluded  but PAB is a LEGO.com item.

Ok, you just sent me down a rabbit hole of the differences between PAB and BAP...I had wondered how city builders find enough BURPs to build mountains... Now I know.. I just feel so... ALIVE!!

I have 8+ LEGO.com orders from 12/5-12/10 that are all still in USPS purgatory. One of them arrived today, finally. I placed an order on 12/17, which shipped with FedEx, and also arrived today (less than 48hrs after ordering). WTF.

Fedex has marked my order as delivered to a city 100+ miles away from me...

I thought it was a placeholder or something but it says it was signed for, has this happened to anyone else before?

FedEx and UPS have been blocking some retailers, to maintain reasonable shipping times, because they used up their quota. USPS cannot block anyone.

Hey Phil B. Did they ever updated USPS tracking or did it just show up your house? LEGO CS said it will just show up at your house probably no updates along the way. Just curious thx

Anyone else having trouble ordering from walmart? It's really strange understanding what is and isn't in stock.

Currently getting "Sorry, delivery is not available for this address. " On 76120. Curious if walmart is saving these for pre-christmas deliveries?

I've been noticing this with Target throughout the year. Many things I was ordering online (household stuff) before the holiday season, were recently marked as "not available for shipping to your zip code." Maybe has something to do with Target and Walmart hitting their FedEx/UPS/Ontrac limits.

I thought I was the only one.  I am unable to order any groceries for shipping.  I actually chatted them about this which was useless. I asked if there were shortages at the warehouse or something.  CS couldn't answer.

Uh. Four packages outgoing MIA and two incoming also missing. I’m lucky and switched to FedEx early and know I’m small time so I can’t imagine what it’s like for some of you bigger resellers.

I guess the director of this commercial didn’t see this coming:

Ecto-1 from 2x VIP Dickens Brick weekend shipped

After days and days without scans, 2 outgoing packages finally got scanned at the destination city. Both of these were going from FL to AL and have been out there from before December 10th. Talking about USPS Priority just in case there was any doubt...

Same exact situation to the letter except, for FL & AL. 

One of my shipments from 12/9 was scanned into a regional PO about 1 mile from its destination on 12/15 but has not yet been delivered (12/22).

I had another package that was USPS 2-day priority to a destination that is 2.5 hours from my house.  It took 10 days for it to arrive.

I have several more packages mailed USPS 3-day priority on 12/15 that just left my regional PO (30 min drive from my house) today, 12/22.

On the other hand, all Fed Ex packages I sent have already arrived at their destinations and were significantly faster than their USPS priority mail counterparts.

I think it's clear - the USPS needs an enema. 

I ordered a Christmas Present on 12/3 that was shipped the NEXT DAY via USPS, and I still don't have it yet. It was stuck in no man's land for like a week. Then it got to my town. Then they sent it another state over where it sat for a few days. Supposedly it's at the proper post office now and supposed to be delivered tomorrow. But what a nightmare. One package. 2.5 weeks. Still no package.

Yeah, I've had this happen too. Certainly doesn't bode well for upcoming clearance deals. And I'm hoping that it's only a covid related situation and not a sign of things to come in the future. 

Can't stand this Walmart Door Dash amateur-hour crap. One driver delivered to the wrong house, and another driver ran into my mailbox.
