This is a UPS SPD shipment to MQJ1

Occasionally… it may have actually been delivered on the 16th and just not marked as such. Or not, Amazon gets UPS to “hold” their packages for free whenever they’re running out of space. We’ve had plenty of stuff received before UPS marked it as delivered though.

Not totally out of the realm of possibility. Amazon controls UPS and tells them when to move inventory from their hubs to their destination when things are backed up at a facility.
There are 2 reasons for extreme delays. This is one of them.
The other is when Amazon redirects the shipment internally - more commonly associated with LTL shipments. When that happens, sellers aren’t notified and have zero visibility to it unless you did into the inventory records. Tracking will show delivered to one location when it actually went somewhere else.
When that happens, pallets will often sit in trailers in the yard for weeks or months because they aren’t on the schedule. When Amazon loses a pallet or truckload, they didn’t lose it. It’s just sitting somewhere outside in a yard. Happened to us. The only reason it was found is because my SAS manager was able to geolocate it and alert the DC to go get it, which they did in less than a day after being missing for 6 weeks.
So yea, SAS is expensive but if you can afford it, It’s well worth it, at least for us anyway. Not looking forward to the next time our manager gets switched out (we are on our 3rd in 18 months). This guy is really good. Each one has been better than the last. Considering ourselves lucky.
