So according to USPS my order from FT was delivered yesterday. It was not in the mailbox. Today, it still wasn't there. Should I be worried? I've never had this problem before.

The post office is having issues lately. Your not the only one. I was supposed to have a package yesterday. Monday it was in Fresno, CA, today the tracking shows it being in Puerto Rico. And the mailman hasnt been here yet today.
Affected by the government shutdown maybe? 
On a more serious note...hope you find your package soon!

If I had one tracking said was delivered but I didn't get, I would be calling USPS to find out where they delivered it.

Well good luck to you. That does make me feel a little better except I had another piece of vapemail show up today and the tracking was dead on.
Haven't had that particular problem yet, when my last package took a detour to Hawaii the tracking followed it every step of the way. They just absolutely refused to send me out to pick it up myself though. Honestly, I wonder if the gov shutdown does have something to do with the current batch of postal issues. They're self funded but I think a lot of their QC people may have been furloughed.
Not sure what is going on at the PO- I don't think the shutdown is the problem. The USPS has been thinning employees and increasing workload the past 12 months or so, according to a friend who is a mail carrier. I have been having various delivery problems for quite a while and it appears to be getting worse.
Had vapemail out for delivery at 8:30 this morning. At 9:30, tracking marked "undeliverable as addressed". At 10:45, shown as "delivered" but wasn't in mail box. At 1pm, it was in my mail box. Just glad it got here since I thought it was either returned to sender or lost.
Good luck and hope you get your package soon.

An order I placed with FT departed San Francisco on Sept. 2, still haven't received it and no other tracking info.
I'm not trying to insult post office employees because the ones I've known personally were good people trying to do their jobs, but it's because of the postal service itself that I choose to use other carriers when personally sending packages.
And from what I've seen, postal service tracking is more like a weather forecast; it's pretty much an educated guess based on certain conditions, not an accurate assessment of reality.

I would be. I'd print out the tracking info and take it down to the local PO.
If it's First Class Mail.....it's generally just "Delivery Confirmation" -- not real "tracking", just notification when it gets to its FINAL destination....(this varies, it seems, by geographical location...some FCM stuff has tracked through for me...!!)
Priority Mail SHOULD provide tracking for EVERY station it passes through....BUT the info is often delayed in the "system"...
I've had packages "processed through" the area Center on a given day....the...NOTHING!! But when I check my box later that day...I find it has indeed been "Delivered"!!
Methinks it all boils down to the "nut behind the wheel" -- ie., Postal employees slow on the draw....In YOUR case......a TRACE is DEFINITELY in order!!! 6 WEEKS is really pushing things!!
I get most vape stuff at my PO box. I've found that when the USPS tracking info says "Delivered", I can immediately go down to the post office and find it - or a pick-up-inside notice - in my box. Not sure about residential mailboxes, though.
does tracking say out for delivery or delivered?
some postmen wont leave a package,especially if they have been having problems
on there route.
delivered means it was left.out for delivery means it was delivered to your
postmens work station.

I've had a couple of other orders from FT with no problem. After the 30 days, I've inquired with both USPS and FT. I got the typical stock answer that its not a tracking # and have to take it up with the shipper. FT said to wait a little longer, but promised to reship or refund the purchase. It's not a big order, and the hassle is not worth it. The package was scanned as departing S.F. over a month ago and USPS seems to not care where it went. We will see if FT will make good on a lost package.
Just yesterday I had a package that showed out for delivery. Then it showed notice left, as if I had to sign for something, but no notice was left at all. When I went to a place to pick it up the lady said there was no reason it shouldn't have been delivered. It was small enough to fit in my mailbox, didn't require a signature or anything else that should have stopped it from being left. She said it sounds like a bad carrier and planned to report it to her supervisor to fin out why this happened. A few months ago I had 2 packages (not e-cig related) that were shipped 2 day delivery, from my city. They shipped on different days, both showed delivered on time, then went BACK to the post office and I got them back a week later.
whenever I go to the usps site and it put in a tracking # it just says the system is experiencing problems try again later. my local post office says the system is working so I don't know what to think........
Well I waited the seven days and called the 1-800 number two days ago. Voila!!! It showed up today.
