Help Needed with Stuck Packages in LOCKPORT, ILLINOIS 60491
I am an international buyer, and several items I purchased seem to be stuck in Lockport, Illinois 60491 for a long time.
Could anyone please assist in resolving this issue and provide an update on the status of these packages?
Thank you for your help.

·1 year agoThere is something wrong with the Lockport depot... As a private person over many years sending things from UK to Lockport Illinois on the expensive 'fast service' that should take 4-5 days, it ends up taking 2-3 weeks!
Tracking an item now that was dropped of at post office in sleepy rural England late on Nov 18th... Entered USA 20th November and cleared customs on the same day... And yet been stuck in Lockport Illinois depot since 21 November – Today (7 DAYS LATER) still sitting in Lockport Depot.
Same situation with all the parcels I send to Illinois, no matter what they are (and all zero tax rated, customs cleared, non-commercial items).

As may have been mentioned earlier this is the eBay CANADA Board.
We are a different country than the USA with our own postal service.
If you are in Canada by some chance, you should know that Canada Post has been on strike for two weeks. EIS (USA) and GSP(UK) use assorted carriers for delivery in addition to Canada Post.

·1 year agoI've been selling by mail order for about 40 years. It's been my experience that shipments to and from the USA often take upwards of three weeks to arrive.
What was the date of purchase?
What was the date of delivery to the eIS plant?
What is the last estimated date for delivery to you in Canada?
If eIS misses that last date, whether lost or delayed, you have 30 days to open a Claim and get a refund on your purchase.
If the last date has not passed, the shipment is not lost or delayed.
It's just slower than you want it to be.
I bought a dress on July 30 from zuri.com . The company is in New York.
The shipment was in the mail the next day, but it was August 8 before it left the USA.
I received it August 15th in Victoria BC.
What is the date eBay told you your purchase would arrive by?

·1 year agoHow long have your items been in Lockport, and what are their estimated delivery dates?
And are your items being handled by eBay Internationally Shipping or are they being mailed through eBay International Standard Delivery? These two similarly-named services have some significant differences.

OP1 year agoI'm just giving a heads-up to all eBay buyers—LOCKPORT, ILLINOIS 60491 this location is very slow. You'll definitely notice it.

·1 year agoenter your tracking number on parcelsapp.com. With ebay's dumb shippng systems, the tracking number changes a couple of times as the package goes from one carrier to another, but ebay does not advise you of the tracking number changes. Parcels app will show them all. Your package might be moving but just appears to be stuck because it is now under a new tracking number.
