What to do if your package is stuck here

  1. Wait until there's been no new scan for 5 business days. USPS often skips scans between plants, so a quiet "In Transit to Next Facility" is usually fine.
  2. Submit a Help Request Form on usps.com. It goes to your local post office, and either you or the sender can file it. USPS tracking FAQ
  3. Still nothing? Start a Missing Mail search. You can file it 7 days after the mailing date, even if this plant's normal time hasn't passed. USPS Missing Mail
  4. If it was insured (Priority Mail and Ground Advantage include some coverage), file a claim within 60 days of mailing. USPS claims
  5. Bought it from a store? Contact the seller. They can file the claim or send a replacement, often faster than USPS.
