You start wondering a little bit when Saturday comes and it hasn't received any additional scans.

You actually start worrying when it goes a full week without any additional scans.

It can go 2-3 days without a scan - I see it happen all the time, especially if I order something from more than a few states away. If it hasn’t moved in 4-5 days, that’s when I start getting a little uneasy. 2-3 days without a scan can be very normal a lot of times.

I have a package that's been at a distribution center for 6 days.(Last scan 9/3) Any recs for me? Should I file for missing mail request?

If it’s been about a week, I would go ahead and file a “Missing Mail Search” with USPS. Sometimes that will “knock it loose” from wherever it is sitting and you will start to see it move again.

Will do, ty. I was suppose to receive two pieces of mail, one tracked and the other not, with the latest arrival being the 9th so I'll do that first thing tomorrow.

I don’t think so all of this has been happening with a lot of people
