Hi William G Clark,

There are many reasons that cause the delay of the package. You need to contact the seller to open a case to check it for you in time.

Here are some common causes:

1. Shipping Carrier Issues
High Volume of Shipments: Carriers may experience delays due to peak seasons (holidays, sales events).
Weather or Natural Disasters: Storms, floods, or other disruptions can delay transit.
Logistical Problems: Missed scans, sorting delays, or transportation issues (like truck breakdowns).

2. Customs Delays (International Shipments)
Customs Inspection: Packages may be held for additional screening.
Missing or Incorrect Documentation: If the sender didn't provide proper paperwork, customs may delay release.
Import Restrictions: Certain items require special approvals.

3. Incorrect or Incomplete Address
If the address is wrong, the carrier may need extra time to correct it or return the package.

4. Seller or Shipper Delay
The seller might not have shipped the package on time (e.g., inventory issues, processing delays).

5. Local Delivery Issues
Failed Delivery Attempts: If no one was available to receive the package.
Local Carrier Delays: Your local post office or courier might be backed up.
