Stuck or normal?

Normal here: 1 to 7 days, mostly customs time, which USPS does not control.

Act if: no new scan for 10 business days. Weekends and federal holidays don't count.

USPS lets you start a Missing Mail search 7 days after mailing, even if this plant's normal time hasn't passed.

At peak and after rule changes on imports, customs queues can add a week or more. These are rules of thumb from how USPS's network works, not a USPS promise. How we set them.

What to do if your package is stuck here

  1. Wait until there's been no new scan for 10 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.
