My package from Germany took three months and tracking was not available from DHL at all.
USPS issues

- Start date
Crazy! My biological shipping clock must have been running. One box showed up this afternoon.
Period Britax 3 point harnesses. Needed new logos, which came from the UK in under 7 days. Need to rub some dirt on the eye piercing logos. I may have @bluedevils make me some new webbing. Either way - safer than a motorcycle!
Yep. Looks like I’m in the same boat. (A really slow boat) Been waiting a month for rear trim piece I purchased on eBay out of Germany. (below). Tracking hasn’t been updated since 2/9/21. Same on the DHL site. I guess it will show up eventually.

The Bel-Metric USPS package that was supposed to arrive yesterday still shows it will arrive ----------- yesterday!
Sent a registered first class 9X12 Tyvek envleope to an address <25 miles away from the US Post Office where I mailed it on 2/26. It was sent to a distribution center 20 miles away and about 45 miles from the address and arrived there 2/27. Sent to another distribution center about 20 miles from the first one and 25 miles from the address, it arrived at that Dist Ctr on 2/27 evening. As of today 3/9, it is still located SOMEWHERE within that second Dist Ctr. Tax forms going to a CPA - not happy!!!!

i have used USPS as when parcels arrive in the US our postal service hands them to USPS
it worked very well for years, until it started going wrong
Now i only use UPS, not as cheap as postal service, but always a success story

I am still waiting for an item I purchased on Ebay on 12/20. Not in a rush, and I guess that is a good thing...
Six days in Atlanta. I filed a complaint with USPS and saw on the tracking information that it was being moved again to - Atlanta.
Might get it next week.
UPDATE: It was supposed to be delivered 3/13 and FINALLY arrived 3/14.

Sold a watch on ebay Feb 3, its lost somewhere in Chicago and the buyer is requesting a refund. I have filed 5 trackers with USPS, daily customer service complaints, and a lost mail claim. I am still getting election mail from November 3 times a week. They are useless.
A buyer can can request a refund on an item that has not been received if the buyer requests a refund within 30 days of the estimated delivery date. Once a refund has been requested, the seller has to provide a replacement item or a refund.within 3 days.
Get help with an item that hasn't arrived
If the estimated delivery date for your order has passed and your item hasn't arrived, you can let the seller know by reporting that you didn't receive it.

Yeah, which sucks for me since I did everything right and USPS lost the package.
I blame it all on Trump and his last USPS Commissioner. Seriously.
I was on both ends of USPS/eBay problems in the last 4 months.
I was a buyer of an item that didn't arrive within 30 days of the due date. I asked the seller for a refund, he quickly provided it. The package showed up a month later. I repaid the seller for the item and shipping.

Hopefully the same happens for you.

Here's a wiki article with what appears to be the whole story...
2020 United States Postal Service crisis - Wikipedia
The USPS had the opportunity when the internet was catching fire to be THE go to service for home delivery of items bought over the internet. The USPS goes to every home everyday anyway. As UPS, FedEX and others put in equipment, systems and processes to do what USPS should have done, and as written correspondence and bill payment went electronic, USPS was hanging its hat on grandma's letters and throw away advertisements for revenue.
Sad to see.
I just bought something from the Czech Republic, will be interesting to compare if any differences in time.

Packages around europe seem to be doing ok.today got something from France and germany. I expect something from the Chech Republic should be ok, up to departure to / arrival in the US .
Too bad Amazon doesn't handle these shipments. They would be on time and probably cheaper.
Dick, actually the "blame" goes all the way to Nixon who privatized the PO. Like privatizing prisons and municipal water systems and Blackwater mercenaries in Iraq, and I could go on and on, it eventually turns out to be a bad idea that gets worse.
DHL from Australia has been very good so far, about 2 weeks.
@adawil2002 , did you get the USPS I sent on Monday?
