Possible lost packages from Knoxville TN to NY
I have 3 packages sent via USPS priority mail sent out 12/2 and have yet to arrive to me. Two priority mail tubes and 1 regular priority mail box.
Tracking on two say they the USPS facilities in Knoxville TN while the last one says it left the facilities in Flushing Queens Sunday 12/7 at 5am as of today.
The items in transit are
Bubba Trammell's 2000 World Series game used bat which is a two tone T141 black with natural taped handle. Bubba autographed it "2000 World Series game used". Bat was used in the 2000 WS and has use.
Bubba Trammell's 2000 game used bat also a two tone T141 black with natural taped handle. Bat has great use and the TAMPA BAY DEVIL RAYS name was blackened out on it. Blacked knob with "33" on knob. Autographed "2000 game used"
Bubba Trammell's 2000 game issued bat which is a two tone T141 black with natural handle. No tape but has rack and handling marks. Blacken knob with '33'. Autographed "2000 NL Champs". This bat is stamped TAMPA BAY DEVIL RAYS which has not been blackened out.
Bubba Trammell's 2003 game used bat (New York Yankees) two tone T141 black with natural handle. Don't have much more details on this but do know it's now uniquely autographed "To David This is one of my game used bats from when I played for the Evil Empire".
Bubba Trammell's 2000 White alternative game used Mets jersey. Tagged Set 1 2000 size 48 with great use, Rawlings brand. Autographed "2000 game used"
Bubba Trammell's 2000 WS game used cap. Black with blue bill no. 33 on inside panel autographed on bill "2000 WS game used".
Since it's been over a week I decided to put out this alert in the case that these items have been stolen. I don't want to give anyone who took it extra time to get away with this and wanted to play it safe.
Hoping it's just the holiday delay but it's crazy that 1-3 day priority mail has gone over 5 days now.
Thanks

Re: Possible lost packages from Knoxville TN to NY
From what it sounded like --- someone from the inside knows your pattern of shipping method and the content of the packages.
Maybe, just maybe, you should drop these packages off yourself -- at a different post office. A little inconvenient but it will ease your mind just a bit.
You can always slap another "Sender" label on top of the pre-printed label to throw them off.

I have had problems with UPS, but not the USPS. Hope it's just slow due to the holiday period, which is possible. Good luck!

Re: Possible lost packages from Knoxville TN to NY
I'm convinced the USPS system is broken. (something we all know already)
I received an updated text today 11:02AM on the tracking for the package which is in Flushing Queens that it was received at my local post office at 8:30AM. Then got a subsequent text stating that this same package leaving the USPS Flushing facility on 12/7 at 9:56AM at 11:24AM.
Got this package just now so the jersey and cap are here.
Still waiting for the other two packages containing the bats.metsbats86@aol.com

Re: Possible lost packages from Knoxville TN to NY
Sorry to hear your story, I just had a 2 day package take 9 days to get to me, it sat in limbo at a facility then all the sudden it was at my facility and on the truck hour later and delivered. So hopefully yours is just the crazy delay with holidays as I think mine was. Keep us updated and fingers crossed for positive turn out.

Re: Possible lost packages from Knoxville TN to NY
Thanks. It's looking more like that now. We've heard it before when the USPS works it works great but when it doesn't it's really bad! Just FYI the USPS internet site states you can cancel held mail requests up till 2AM of the day you want to reschedule delivery. I put in an un hold yesterday morning and got a confirmation but it was still on hold today. My postman says he never got the unhold and the post office told me there's a delay in the internet website and the individual post offices.metsbats86@aol.com

Re: Possible lost packages from Knoxville TN to NY
David, I had almot the exact same thing happen with a package mailed last week. It was a priority tube, was mailed on the 2nd and the tracking never updated after the initial status. I was getting very worried. Late last night it updated that the tube was in my local depot, the package arrived today. I think it is a holiday volume issue, hope you get your stuff without any issues.

Re: Possible lost packages from Knoxville TN to NY
Those are good points. These packages are in transit to me however when I mail game used items I usually pack them up before getting to the post office or if I need to get a box take the box outside to my car and package it up precisely for this reason. I know when two of the bats were shipped Bubba's post office ran out of tubes and he had to go to another one to ship two of the bats. Not sure how discrete he was in mailing these but will hope we have some honest folks working at the Post office in Knoxville.

Re: Possible lost packages from Knoxville TN to NY
I stopped mailing bats in tubes in thin long boxes that look like a bat is in them. I find larger/wider boxes, so there is no way for someone to think there is a bat in the box. Haven't had an issue since. The recommendation of switching up post office is a great idea! Thanks!
