USPS in possession of item 3/24
Arrived St. Louis 3/25
Depart St. Louis 3/26
...Arrived St. Louis 3/29...
And tracking updates daily since then with "In Transit, Arriving Late
Your package will arrive later than expected, but is still on its way. It is currently in transit to the next facility."

Curious if anyone else following this thread is still waiting for their 4b treasure. After re-entering the St Louis vortex and a few days of daily updates to "in transit, arriving late", there have been no updates at all since April 2. I was given a vague and useless reply by my local PO in response to the case I opened with USPS , and they closed it. I'm thinking of reaching out to TDHQ to see if they might open a case with USPS from their end on this.

Wow...happy ending here. After no further tracking updates, the V4b treasure magically showed up today!

Awesome, glad you got your loot. So it went off grid and showed up like 3 weeks later...amazing!

It must have quarantined due to COVID.

Well, here we go again. Shipping label created in Carbondale at 8:47pm last night. I wish everyone the best of luck in avoiding the traps going through St. Louis.

My label was created the same day as yours, and the package was picked up at 12:01 pm today. So I should have it by this weekend...maybe.

No news yet for me.

No indication that my package has been picked up yet.

I created all of the pick and shipping labels on Monday. John and Matthew came in Tuesday and started the shipping process, which they're still working on.

There are two ways to get the packages scanned when they're picked up by the Post Office. Our carrier has to scan each one (which the local PO does NOT want her to do) OR I print a SCAN sheet which is one bar code for many packages. Unfortunately, once I print a SCAN sheet, no labels included in that sheet can be refunded for any reason. So, if I've made a mistake and printed a small, but they need to send in a medium, we can't get a refund on the small if I've printed the SCAN sheet.

I knew I was taking Tuesday off, so I didn't print any SCAN sheets as I didn't know how many they'd get to yesterday or today.

SO....what that means is that basically the packages will all get scanned in St. Louis.

Sorry! The system is nuts. If we take them into the PO, we can ask them to scan each one, but that takes a lot of time we can be packing and getting packages ready. The easiest thing is for our carrier to pick them up here, but our Postmaster has told her that she is NOT to scan each package for us any more.

Said Postmaster also told me that there are no problems or delays in StLou now and our packages are going through fine. I gave her tracking numbers for a few packages that had slipped into the StLou abyss and she didn't have much to say.

What'cha gonna do?

Thank you for the updates as always Lori.

Thanks for the update, Lori.

Great detailed update. Thank you.

Got my shipping notification. Look forward to seeing the package soon.

My package actually arrived is in my city (I live in Springfield IL) AND is out for delivery!

Someone must have cast “Untangle red tape” on St. Louis.
