What does this mean?

"Your package may be delayed. We are adjusting delivery plans as quickly as possible."

It's probably nothing to worry about. I am just curious. I saw that my package was in my state. Then this morning got the message on top.

My experience has been that when I see that message it's usually another week or two before I will receive the package.

I think this is a cryptic way of saying that the USPS has lost track of the package. It may or may not be found. In my experience, more often than not it is eventually found and delivered. My local post office has been a nightmare since the pandemic began.

@BostonMommy I don't think there is one meaning. There's a delay that could be a day or two or more, but the more part is the unknown.

@Suzeecat I think all the delivery services are on overwhelm. In the small town where I had my summer apartment, the postmaster told me they had zero control over package delivery. Some days they saw 5 or 6 thousand packages and then they might get over 20,000 with no extra trucks or help to sort and deliver.

I forget what I was missing, but he promised he would look. Said they had a backlog of hundreds. Either he found it or they cleared that mess because I know I did get whatever I'd gone to ask about within a day or two.

I got a message stating my order will be delayed because of a train derailment.

I said in another post that I would eat my shoe if I ever receive a package from the post office without this notification attached to the delivery information. Ha!!!

I got that message last week, there's a thread about it. My package was delivered the next day.

Where I live, when I see my order is routing via Bridgeport, NJ, I know that it is just a matter of time before I get that "your package may be delayed". When I see Bridgeport, I know I can forget about receiving my order any time soon.

It's Customer Service "speak" for "We don't have a clue". (been there, done that)

I received an email from another company S-u- t-e-r-a, where I'd ordered a couple of pillows. I ordered on 5-10 and a couple wks later got email saying the back up was from shipping ports in California.

And my husband works for a truck co... he said in parts they are having to re route shipping all around, sending planes to pick up parts etc, delays on building them also.. seems to be a real cluster all around, looks to be getting worse !!

@PhilaLady1 I live in Montco, and same with me. I've had an order stuck somewhere between Bridgeport and my local PO since May 21! I usually order a replacement through CS, and then they arrive together! Sometimes I decide to keep both! Hahaha! Maybe it's a sales tactic

In recent weeks I have placed several orders with HSN and received all within a 5 day period. Some even less time than that. Why can't QVC do the same?

what is up with Bridgeport NJ? I think 99% of my items go through this post office. It is beyond slow and I get this generic message so much of the time. I don't understand how they cannot process things more efficiently 2 years into the pandemic and not delay packages. It is beyond frustrating!

@Luvsmyfam This thread is almost a year old, but since you responded a couple hours ago, I was wondering how you cancelled an order that has already shipped?

Luvsmyfam — Thu, 14 Apr 2022 13:16:46 GMT

@shoechic as I stated,I called cs and told them what was going on which they could see on their end.i simply said to please cancel both items,and they did.money was put back in my account.and no, had no idea this was a old thread

@Luvsmyfam , if you look at the date under the title of the thread, it states it was posted on 6/1/21. HTH. Each thread will have the date of origination.
