The Post Office (USPS) seems to have a problem which I have suffered from several times. The seller logs it into the system from home, but then something goes wrong when the package actually arrives at the PO. Maybe it needs to be scanned, but whatever this intermediate step is, if it's not done, the PO will only update its online tracking when the item is delivered. I've noticed this repeatedly; the seller was not lying.

One possible reason: the seller drops it off at the PO, or throws it into a mailbox and the civil servant doesn't scan it. So much for technology.
