I recently won a MEC Grabber press on Ebay. I paid for it, and within a day it was showing as shipped. Here is my problem.
It was shipped on July 20th from Rochester IL. USPS tracking showed it in Pawnee IL on July 21st. That's it. The original estimated delivery date was July 24th. That was later changed to "Arriving Late but In Transit."
Nothing has changed in days. This package is only going from Illinois to Albany, NY. We're at the two week mark.
My first thought was that I'm getting scammed by the seller and the tracking number is bogus. But, USPS shows it as real. And by the way, I'm going to USPS.com and putting the number in myself, I'm not just clicking the link to track. I would think if the number was bogus I would get a "No such number found" or something like that. Plus, I know USPS sometimes really is that bad. Two months ago I had a Brownells order (which we all know is real) go from Iowa to Albany, and USPS tracking showed it AT the Albany post office, then it was delayed there for over a week!
I need some advice. Can my local post office help if I give them the number?
