.

I got in several packages today.

Did you gals put your delivery confirmation numbers in the hostesses section? My informed delivery email from the post office says I should have received more packages.

I want to be able to call and let them know that they were scanned delivered and I do not have them.

I do not need confirmation numbers from those of you listed below. I have your packages.

I did put my confirmation number in Lisa. It was supposed to be there today; I mailed it priority, but when I just checked, it said "delayed". I signed up for an email alert for when it's delivered. There's a notice on the site asking us to be patient due to COVID and reduced personnel numbers - okay, but still, when you pay for priority mail, it's disappointing. I hope it arrives tomorrow.

I'd added my tracking number to the site on Monday after I dropped it at the post office. Looks like it should be delivered tomorrow. It's at MIDDLESEX-ESSEX MA DISTRIBUTION CENTER today.

I entered my tracking number today when I got back from the PO.

I entered my tracking number when I mailed on Mon. Left Oklahoma Coty on Tues & hasn't been updated since. I turned on the text notifications so I'd know when it arrives.

I sent in seeds for another swap & it took 2 weeks to get there. All the mail issues since early Oct have made their guaranteed delivery dates a joke.

@ishareflowers Lisa,
Can you access the tracking #s we entered via the swap system, or is only Alana getting them? Do you need the tracking #s treemailed like we had to do with our addresses?

@diana, I can access them.

I realize that you girls can check on your packages and that some may be delayed. in addition to the ones I listed I also have in my email below that the ones that are expected soon.

The screenshots are of packages that the post office scanned as delivered to my home but I did not get all of them. I'm trying to find out who's packages they were but I'll log into Alana's and take a look...

One of those delivered is mine, the second number from the top.9114999944314734109838

But I just looked at it doesn't appear to be delivered, it shows that it's in transit.

@wildflowers,

I'm happy to hear that it's does not say it was delivered on your end.

Maybe they were scanned being put on his truck and they never hit my porch and they're still in his truck.

I got concerned when all those numbers showed up as being delivered and they weren't here.

I guess I should just wait and see what happens. Normally, what my informed delivery says is going to be in my mail is in my mail.

I'm going to go down to the mailbox and see if he left it in there. I don't know why but he has left packages on the stairs and others in the mailbox...🤪

At first the USPS said my package would reach you on Saturday. Now they say it's out for delivery today. Since that is only two days after I mailed it, they did pretty well with that one. Provided, of course, that it actually is delivered today!

Mine just got updated to say it was delivered.

Mine says it got delivered at 10:15 today too.

Mine says "in transit" - sigh. Not even yet to the "out for delivery" stage.

I lost my receipt. I will look for it in the car later. I do recall the estimated delivery was Saturday. Sorry.

Mine says in transit. Expected delivery January 19.

Hey Lisa,

I've got the scanned delivery notification for my PO Box. Even 'supposedly' in the same building as the scanning is actually being done, sometimes I don't get the packages until two days after the notification. If t's 4 days after the notification of delivery and package still hasn't shown up then I'd start getting worried.

Be patient guys. My roommate is a mail carrier. The only way he's had any days off since Oct is to call off. They are being mandated to work 7 days a week. A few of those days are short 6 hour days but most are a full 9 hours and a few are 12 hour days.

I had just a small amount of seeds to send in so I sent them regular first class mail. It'll be interesting to see how fast they get there...

Maybe an odd request, but I'd love to see examples of packaging form the neatest packaging award winner or other high-achievers on that front. I never organized a seed swap so only had my imagination to guide me as to what would be most convenient on the receiving end. I am so grateful to the host(s) for the wonderful community service you are providing. Thank you!!

@billewarrick, you did fine and so did everyone else.

Jessebelle just has perfect penmanship and they were sorted alphabetically. I put the returning envelopes in boxes alphabetically so sorting was a breeze.

I have hosted swaps for years and never thought to send my seeds to other hostesses in alphabetical order.😲. I will from now on though.

When you all receive your packages you'll see how perfect her penmanship is. 😀

I got envelopes from the following players today.
