- Increase in overall shipping times during the holiday peak season.
- International orders with limited tracking as they go through customs and being shipped by sea/air.
- USPS orders requiring extra days during sorting.

Further Shipping News
- UPS is capping deliveries and the number of packages that they are processing daily. UPS temporarily restricting some packages from being processed may lead to shipping delays.
- Many carriers are choosing to do less frequent update scans during shipment in order to speed up the overall shipping process.
- DHL has partnered with the USPS in order to assist in fulfilling deliveries. Occasionally the handoff stage does not get tracked and it can appear that a package is stuck in a single location. Usually this is not the case, but rather as previously mentioned the scanning was skipped.

Below is the list of countries that are currently on lockdown where you might expect some delays for your shipment. Transit times and delayed tracking may vary slightly for these locations.
