I always order not expecting anything for a couple of weeks. Mine goes to Toronto Quebec etc right now I waited in the hopes they are too busy and just send it through. They know what was ordered and I do the same every year.

I wish when I mailed something out it was as simple as a driver arriving at my door, followed by him swinging by Tim Hortons for a coffee, then, maybe a piss stop, before driving straight to the mailing address. Sadly, though, everyone else must get their mail.

The box has been lost since Sunday night. It hasn't been scanned anywhere since it left Cincinnati last Sunday evening, so I'm going to ask Deb, at the post office, if there's anything she can do to find it. She can get more detailed tracking than I can get online.

Right and there was a huge snowstorm probably everything was stopped for a bit. As mentioned the shopping totals were overwhelming this black Friday. So approx 20 million packages in one day. Not sure on the average sale but imagine if 150 million people ordered that is a lot.
My last order was marked as @ the distribution centre in Ohio for like a week, next thing I know it cleared customs. Might just be updates being a bit slow, especially after black Friday on top of Covid. My last update said my package left Chicago 2 days ago
Shipping through USPS, FedEx and UPS has been somewhat sluggish (to me at least) since March 2020, regardless of where in the US the parcel originated. More notable, tracking from all three of those carriers, as well as from DHL and smaller carriers has been off in the woods for most of the year. I have seen tracking that projected delivery three days from "now", yet found the item on my porch a few minutes later.
Many companies that rely upon on-line ordering have had staffing shortages this year. (That is not true of WLT.) So time from order to shipping has been slower.
The larger carriers have dedicated aircraft that circulate between regional air hubs, and ground trucks that travel between regional ground hubs. But in the past, all carriers also relied heavily on transporting some items via spare cargo space in commercial, passenger aircraft. As you know, commercial air travel has dropped off dramatically this year.
SUMMARY: Fulfillment is a bit slower. Shipping is somewhat slower. Tracking is poor.

My package took 5 days to go from Cinncinati to the regional sorting facility in Waterloo and was never scanned en route, like in Des Moines, where it had to pass through first. It went from Des Moines to me today. I was having a real bad day until I found packages on my front porch. The small box from northern Cali was on time at 3 days, as usual. Its a monthly delivery.
I'm posting from my Fire tablet, which does not have flash to take a photo, but I want to say the heavy duty shredder is one heck of a machine! Using it is like using my 25 ton die press to cut leather for my merchandise. The shredder is just as heavy duty as my steel dies are. Built like brick you know whats.
The leaves are all perfectly lovely, as they always are from WLT. I'm going to have a lot of fun tomorrow. I'll have to figure out how I'm going to fasten the shredder to something, and what that something will be. For now I'm just holding it with one hand on my tv tray and it really shredded a lot of leaves easily, and very finely.
I'm in love and plan on spending all day tomorrow with it!
Thank you to everyone at WLT! Merry Christmas!

Congratulations! I love my shredder and you’re right about the build. I thought mine was built like a Soviet era tank but a brick you know what is close enough. Merry Christmas to you, too.

I forgot about Soviet tanks. That is a very apt description!
My order arrived yesterday! I'm about to fire up a cheroot of a new-to-me leaf, the Pelo de Oro seco. I've heard good things and it smells good, so here it goes!
WLT is the only place I ordered from this season, and their customer service exceeded expectations again.
Thank you Don!
