Is/Has/Does anybody else have any problems with shipping from there? I ordered a sword on Thursday, it shipped out on Monday (for the notification on Saturday but I doubt they shipped it then) and it's stayed at the arrived status in Allen park since Monday. Anyone else have any problems lately?

I'm waiting on 2 personal items I purchased last week - they also appear to be "stuck" - no change in status for a couple days, and one shows as not even having been shipped even though the company is *very* fast in their shipments.

Not sure if I should say something or not, but last night a little bird told me the USPS computer network was down/experiencing really bad problems. May or may not have something to do with it.

Depending on the service purchased, status updates may be unavailable between the posting/arrival location and your local post office
I just recently had an express package transit west coast to east coast and reach my quite rural post office in 20hrs from first tracking notice. Add that my post mistress called me at home when it arrived there.
I generally bless the carriers but have seen/had horror shows with all of them.
Parcel post with tracking is one such instance when tracking updates are sparse.
Make sure to sign up for tracking updates and be as aware as one can be.

I had a sword get stuck a few weeks ago. It was stuck in one place for three days. Of all the delivery services I've used over the years, the USPS is, by far, the least dependable.

May or may not have something to do with it. where did u see this? i also have a package i cant see on their website atm Croccifixio is on the right path with his guess. Things back to normal tonight, so updates should be up to snuff. Updates can be slow to upload network-wide, though. I suppose I will say that tracking relies on the scanning of individual packages. Almost hate to say it, but sometimes individual packages do not get scanned due to error on the part of the scanner itself, the person using the scanner, or both. When this happens, your package was last known to be in Middle-of-Nowhere USA, and that's the last you'll ever hear about it most likely. Right up until it actually shows up on your doorstep. The scan tracking ceased, while the package continued on its merry way and was never lost or missing in the first place.
