This is a new one for me.  My package was scheduled for delivery today.  When I checked it said:  A railroad mechanical failure has delayed delivery.  I have recieved delay notices in the past but none like this.  Not holding my breath on received my item any time soon.

Hmmmmm... that is different for me as well.  I'd be interested in when and if you receive it AND what condition it's in (also "iffy" these days).

I think twice over the years, I've gotten messages that reference railroad derailments.  I seriously doubt a QVC package ever saw a train.  If your tracking # is a USPS number, you can go to their website, enter the number and get the REAL story.

@Biftu - I have seen similar updates about railroad issues for both USPS and UPS deliveries over the years. If memory serves, I believe my package was on its way to me again within 48 hours in each instance. The issue is typically just what they state, a mechanical failure with the transport vehicle, not a problem with the packages on board. Hopefully, your order will be on your doorstep soon!
