I'm sorry if this has been discussed recently, but all of my recent orders in the past few weeks are showing delayed or the shipping information is not available at all. What is going on exactly?

@Squirrel Lover "Right now"??? This has been a problem for quite some time. Many ships are stalled in port and not being offloaded.

Shipping companies are overwhelmed with orders due to people shopping online.

This has been an ongoing situation with MANY companies since spring of last year and the pandemic.

It's been on the news for a year and a half and is nothing new, unfortunately.

There also has been some very severe weather on the East Coast the past few days, in case you weren't aware.  I imagine that may have some bearing on their shipping right now, if that's what your refering to.

Add to both of the above posts that the entire nation is having a shortage of people willing/wanting to work and you have your answer.

I fear Christmas orders not placed before November will be limited in selections and could not arrive in time for gift giving. Shop and ship early this year. Earlier than you have ever done.

@Squirrel Lover    There have been umpteen threads written on the subject, many with very good information and quite extensive.  I suggest you put "shipping" in the board search and do a little reading if you're really interested.  It's a complex subject.

on it why shop at all?most of us do not need half the possessions we own including myself.come holiday time,I always give my 2 grandchildren and 1 daughter cash and a very nice home cooked meal.being together is what counts.not how many gifts are under the tree

@Luvsmyfam You've posted  about your purchases so "why shop at all" could apply to you. Some people want or need to shop. It's not for you or me to question it. My  goodness.

@Luvsmyfam You are fortunate to be with family for the holidays. We are not so fortunate and are rarely together at Christmas. Sending them a thoughtful surprise pleases me.

@On It Very well said.
