Is anyone else noticing their orders from the USA arriving late or maybe never? On ebay and elsewhere, not toys for business, but craft supplies for personal use. And not sexy craft supplies like anything flammable or explosive but really dull stuff that should never gain the suspicious attention of someone in Customs.
It's almost like American sellers are using some sort of freight consolidator that loses their stuff. There is one thing all these missing/late/no-show orders have in common and that is that they are tracked... sort of. They claim to be sending to me via First Class International (which is the shipping service that I am paying for) and then I get tracking that says 'Arrived Shipping Partner Facility, USPS Awaiting Item' and then I never hear of it again. It's the last tracking on the order and it might say it for 35+ days without anything further.
What is this? Shipping Partner Facility? Is it a consolidation and ground service? I thought that ground to/from the USA-Canada was discontinued a few years ago.
It's only started to happen lately too. Maybe since the summer began. I'm confused. And a little sad because I'm waiting for plain old acrylic paints and other doohickey for the kids that just never arrive.
