If could be your package has left ICS but the tracking has not been updated. This happens a lot these days.
But in a situation like this, I've used the "Where's my package" function for USPS many times and my packages that seem to be stuck somewhere usually magically start showing movement in tracking with delivery shortly after.
- Copy your tracking #
- Go to Contact Us | USPS or Go to USPS.com & click "contact us" link (bottom of page)
- Click "Email us"
- Click "where's my package"
- Paste in your tracking # and hit "next"
- Fill in all required info. (shipper info is not required, skip it)
- For contents, select "unknown"
- In the "Additional Information" box, simply type...
Package obviously lost. Please find and deliver.
Type nothing else.
Your request will be forwarded to the post office where it was last scanned or to the receiving post office and might be contacted by that post office (although if you live in a large metro area that is serviced by a very busy post office you probably won't be contacted).
Easy peasy.
I've been very successful with this. They find it, they deliver it. I have not used this function post-pandemic, but it's still worth a shot as it takes just a couple minutes.
