In my case, my Wharnie shipped on April 30th and made it to "Out for Delivery" in 4 days, on May 4th. However, it didn't get delivered and tracking has not updated since 12:10 AM on 5/5/24, with it saying, "Awaiting Delivery" ever since, with no updates to the tracking page in the last 72 hours!

Awesome looking lever action. What caliber/manufacturer is it?
That’s horrible I’m sorry to hear that I went through that also many years ago my package went around the country before I got it . To say it was difficult to communicate with USPS is a understatement.My TPK Wharnie is still missing since Saturday.

I tried to call the local post office; and after being on hold many times, I'd get the message that nobody can take my call and I'd be disconnected.
I tried online to have the post office put a trace on it, only to get an error message several times telling me to try again later.
So, I then went to the post office in person. They were delayed Monday due to no power after 101 mph winds hit the area (our yard was a mess, but we kept power).
The person at the main counter checked in the back, and says my delivery person is all caught up with deliveries. I told him that I'd already checked today, and it still wasn't delivered; and I showed him that the website hasn't been updated since 12:10AM Sunday.
He took notes of everything and tracking, and my phone number and said the supervisor will call me back. That didn't happen today before closing.
That’s horrible I’m sorry to hear that I went through that also many years ago my package went around the country before I got it . To say it was difficult to communicate with USPS is a understatement.
I’m sure it will show up and just delayedThe biggest problem for me if this doesn't show up is that I like this exact combination and distinct pattern of fake patina and acid wash on the blade; and while I know there is another one made "similar" to this, I like mine more. I just want mine too found and to show up.
Is the tip missing on that knaf?
I ventured into Magdeburg, Germany for grandma's passing. She came here with grandpa from Ukraine 25 years ago. All her friends love her here, she wrote poetry, kept going to all the concerts she could and only missed her last two painting classes before she left at 96. (had help getting around the last few years). Grandpa passed back in 2008, they almost made it to staying married for 50 years and are now buried here together.

So went for a walk, it was a good day and today it's looking the same. Only knife with me on the trip is Manly Wasp in sandvik steel.
