What's going on with shipping ?

I ordered the TSV salmon on 2/23 at midnight and by the end of the day the order page said it was shipped but waiting on carrier pickup with delivery by 2/26. I have been checking on the status and it still says waiting on carrier pickup. I have 3 other orders within several days before 2/23 saying the same thing "awaiting carrier pickup" I will follow up with CS but has anyone else been having the same issue with shipping at this time ? Has your order shipped when it says it has or still waiting for carrier pickup now ?

@Goodie2shoes.  I haven't had the "carrier pick-up" msg, but shipping has slowed considerably.  All my orders are clothes and I figure they're snowed under with orders from all the clothing sales.

My guess is just that. It was processed and shipped but is waiting for the carrier to pick it up.

The UPS person may have not scanned that label when it was picked up or it's what @rms1954 wrote above.

@Goodie2shoes I ordered two tops on Dec. 30...both said "shipped", but only one moved--then got stuck at a PO on 1/11. The other said "waiting for pickup" until early Feb.

 

Both of them FINALLY arrived, but it was mid-February...SIX WEEKS after shipping!

 

Just lately most of my orders have been delivered by UPS, and came when they were supposed to. However I ordered a top this week, and it's back to UPS to USPS...so we'll see when it actually arrives!

I've ordered several items lately and have gotten every one of them very quickly, especially for QVC! Many arrived ahead of what the tracking info said. I've had no problem, actually ever, with QVC shipping. Hope I didn't just "jinx" myself, lol. Maybe it has to do with where in the county one is? I'm in CT, straight up I95 from QVC in PA. (not that everything comes from PA)

I see that same message when I order from a fishery in Alaska and from Omaha Steaks but it never last more than 1 night.

 

When ordering through Q, it's up to the vendor since that's who ships it. I don't know if they are waiting for a full truck or what but it could still be in the vendor's freezer.

 

The vendor could also be slow notifying Q and you of updates.  

 

Who knows.

I have gotten the 'awaiting carrier pick up mess' many times.  @Goodie2shoes 

 

No need to call CS....they have no more infor than we see quite often.

 

It will ship....just be patient.  The other poster is correct....sometimes it says that and then it is almost at my door.

I had a few items that said waiting for carrier pick up for a few days, but are out for delivery today.  But.....still waiting for a few items from the President's day free ship day.

@vermint.  UPS  and usps no longer have the agreement for the post office to deliver UPS packages.

 

It's possible that UPS is just swamped.  My driver has suddenly been coming after dark.  They'll need to hire and train more drivers.
