Has anyone experienced this before? if so how long did it take? I paid an extra $50 to 2nd day air this! It is extensions and my appt is thursday….. it was initially arriving tomorrow

I understand it’s still cold out and some roads are bad. However, roads in my area are clear, and even searching up my zip doesn’t show any severe weather delays. Not to mention while I was out with friends, I saw 3 UPS trucks, 4 USPS, and 1 Amazon truck. So I can see that they’re at least trying to get a bunch of stuff out. I promise I’m being patient, I really just want to have like an estimate. When I speak to an agent they just tell me to turn notifs on and/or be wait. I just don’t want my package to be lost in that whole system

Okay so I’m asking this question because I don’t know if I should be concerned about my package. I placed my order about one week ago on 21st of February and it was supposed to arrive on the 29th. The 29th comes along and as I’m patiently expecting my package I get an email saying it was delayed until March 6th. I’m confused so I decide to go check the tracking finally since I hadn’t up until this point.

Turns out tracking didn’t start updating until the 28th, which means my order sat for an entire week without no movement whatsoever. Apart from my annoyance, I decide to wait once again until March 6th intently watching the tracking for my package.

It’s already March 4th and there hasn’t been a SINGLE update since the 29th where it supposedly says it’s “On the way.”

My question is, is this a normal occurrence and should be concerned? I don’t want the same thing to happen on the 6th and my package is delayed once again for seemingly no reason. What’s frustrating is this is an expensive purchase of over $1k and I have always been skeptical of buying expensive items online out of fear for something going wrong during delivery. Seems my fears were well placed so far.

Shipment type is Ground shipment

Twice a month for the last four years, I’ve ordered from a company that ships only through UPS, along with other companies that also use UPS. Every single order since late October has been delayed by 1-2 business days due to an emergency or severe weather after it has been marked as out for delivery. At first, I thought Christmas shipping was slowing everything down. I’ve had 3 orders since Christmas and avoided ordering during the severe winter weather in my area. Still delayed by a business day or two after it has been marked as out for delivery. It was even delayed the week we had unseasonably warm, spring-like weather!

What is this delay? How can I prevent this? My normally 3 day shipping is now reaching a week.
