NIGHT SHIFT: The Deluxe Special Edition by Stephen King

[bookworm 1]

I got a shipping notice today, so I'll be keeping an eye on that tracking number!

I ordered a book on Amazon for a friend that was supposed to be delivered on 12/18, and finally got delivered today. It went from Richmond, VA to the suburbs of Philadelphia, and took that long to get there. The USPS is really overwhelmed right now.

Yep . I sent a package out on the 18h and the last scan it shows is when it left my local post office that night. I was told yesterday by a postal clerk that things should get a little bit better by the end of January. He also told me that since April and because of COVID it’s been like Christmas month for the last 8 months

So are there still some Media Mail packages yet to be sent?
As of today (1-2-21) I still have not received a shipping notification.

Yep. Lots to go yet. I don't think we'll be done shipping until next week. With the holidays being right in the middle we've only really had about 8 business days worth of shipping so far, and as I've said elsewhere it's a much slower process this go around.

Ahh yeah with the USPS who knows right now.

I suspect my book has been lost; no update since 12/25.

Don’t give up hope yet. In the last month I have had packages not get updated until they were delivered. The post office is still slammed . Some of those packages were shipped Media Mail and were 4-6 weeks from order to arrival

Just adding to USPS slowdowns and oddness. I had my Night Shift sent Priority and another book sent later by media mail from California. To michigan, both arrived same day. Night Shift was late by about a week. I don't know what is going on. To make it odder according to tracking they delivered the 2 books at 2 different times on the same day.

Around here the USPS appears to be running multiple trucks to the same address and trucks on Sundays to catch up. I recently had a package dropped at my door about 7:30 AM and another delivered to the parcel box around 2:00 PM on the same day as well as a package delivered to my doorstep on a Sunday morning. I am now caught up on all but one package I am expecting. The one outstanding is my recent Lividian chapbook. Brian shipped it on December 5th and it remains in a Pre-Shipment status with USPS. Having worked with retail logistics for a long time I am guessing it is in a trailer at a post office and they will eventually open that truck and send it on the way.

Same. I'm sure I also selected Media Mail, so doubtlessly am in that same "lots to go" stack of copies that Dan mentions. Really looking forward to seeing the final product...on-line photos are fine and whatnot, but there's nothing like seeing a book in person, in hand and in vivid color. This book has always been very special to me, and I can't wait to see what CD did with it.

Received mine today, through Media Mail. Was shipped on the 29th, and original ETA was the 7th. Guess I got lucky! The book looks fantastic. Been waiting for this for a while, as it's my favorite of his collections. Thanks guys!

My Night Shift arrived yesterday - considering shipment was marked received on 12/30, that's not too bad. 20th Century Ghosts is the last "I wonder when it will get here" package I have in the system.

Forgot all about this book. Wish I would have picked this one up.
