It might show up, sometimes things must get put in a corner somewhere and then eventually show up.
For a couple years up until a couple months ago, I was the IT Equipment guy for the company I work for, I shipped hundreds of packages a month/thousands per year with UPS. Every once in a while, one would not show up but a week or two later it would randomly appear.

USPS is going down hill i think...I've had way to many problems with their shipping...last thing was they left a card in my mail box saying we tried to deliver but you weren't' home... ...i was right there in the yard doing yard work..i had to go to post office to get it about an hour later.. which tells me they never had the package on the truck.. was at the post office...the package wasn't anything huge or heavy... it was like a 12inch x 12inch box two times that happened in a week
I've noticed (more when when I was shipping a lot) that China merchants can mail things where the total cost (item and shipping) is less than I pay for shipping. I get that their government can subsidized their internal PO cost to get the business, but how do they get such a discount from our PO system that we cannot compete?
You mean the bunch that has guaranteed delivery plastered all over their website and they after they take your money and fail to deliver on time they won't honor the guarantee and say "oh our guarantee has been suspended over a year". Is that the pack of thieves you mean?
Yes, we experience this type of issue late last year, first time in our lives, ever. Sometimes things were floating around the mail system for up to 3/4 weeks. Even mailed out Christmas cards floated around between us and family members for up to 4 weeks int he system.
At times we got refunds for return items that never arrived and other times we got merchandise refunds for other stuff that arrived like, ummm... 4 weeks late but the companies would refund us because no one knew where the merchandise was.
Haven't had the issue this year, assumed the USPS was all caught up after being behind cause of COVID but maybe still local issues.
I suspect one or two things will happen, you will get your merchandise soon, or you both will give up and consider it lost, then weeks later it will surprise you and arrive so keep the sellers information if it does and you want to do the right thing and pay him if it ever does arrive.
My wife did this late last year with someone on eBay, they sent her the stuff, never arrived, seller refunded her money (it wasnt a cheap item either) item from CA came like, I dont know, six weeks later. My wife did contact the seller so they could get paid but I guess so much time went by they told her dont worry about it, keep it it because it was such as hassle.

Surprised that package got delivered at all what with the address all covered up.
A couple of weeks ago I received a package that had a pair of lights I ordered on Sept 4. they were sent priority 2 day USPS.
Would have filed for a refund by October.
Tell me about it. I'm sick of society being dictated by this virus...
Man, if you don't know where your package is, maybe take an anatomy class.
USPS is terrible about posting an accurate status of your tracking number(s). Countless times they've listed my packages as delivered, and then they would actually be delivered a day or two later. This package is turning out a bit different as it has been over a week past the original scheduled delivery date...
Every carrier mis-routes or loses or damages shipments. It's laughable when people talk how "XXX has never lost one of my deliveries". Uhhhh, yeah, that's called LUCK, nothing more !

Have had several 2-day priority small packages take at least 9 business days.
To be honest, I don't know if I can say any delivery company has ever lost one of my packages. I've had them delay deliveries, I've had them lie by saying a package was delivered when it wasn't, I've even had them deliver to the wrong address (which they then picked up and delivered to me), but I don't think they've ever lost one of my packages...Every carrier mis-routes or loses or damages shipments.

When I worked for DHL, I found documents (sent in an envelope) that were lost for years. But those were small and fell into an inaccessible place. It happens though that the package gets put on the wrong truck or plane, it could be in China by now...
I have had USPS lose an envelope or two over the years (that is more understandable), but never a package...
The packaging breaks, the labels get misread etc... it happens but unless the content gets destroyed (which also happens) they should arrive with a bit delay
