USPS is aware and has been since Friday Morning. Any guesses as to how this turns out?

It's frustrating, but I'm sure it will show up fine.
Fingers crossed.

99.5% chance that it arrives safely.
Probably stuck in a bin somewhere, had one show up after about 20 days onetime.
I've had items stuck "In Transit" for a week and I always got them. Sure there's a 1 in a 1,000 chance you don't get it but I bet by next weekend you are holding it in your hands.
This is Sunday the 29th. Less than a week? Perhaps not good service, but irretrievably lost is ?
Too early to tell.
better check your ebay while you wait lol
Be patient. Nothing is going to happen over the weekend. I just had a package that took me one week to go 10 miles from PCGS to my office.
I have a few packages coming like your's arrived in a common transfer site but sitting in limbo waiting for it to show up in a city before it comes to mine. I am not to worried as mine are coming all the way from Japan and China. They always seem to show up about the time I get worried. I bet it gets here tomorrow for mine.
Clearly you should PANIC !!
It will be found.
I just had a coin that took a week to get to me from New Hampshire.
Was doing a lot of back and forth in New York.
Also start watching dystopian movies like "Escape from La", "Idiocracy" and the Python version of "Brazil" to put you in the right mood.
Brazil is an amazing film!!
Had a package from Oregon to Michigan take about a month. I had already sold all of the guys inventory by the time he got paid.
Good luck !!!
Give it some time. I just received a package from eBay on the 26th that stopped tracking after July 12.

What service did you use.? If registered mail this is perfectly normal.
Yup. Many times the same experiences especially at the distribution centers.
Good luck FTB.... if the package did bust open (as you hypothesized), then things will not turn out well....You have reason to be nervous based on the previous package. Hope it goes well... Cheers, RickO
Actually, sadly more normal than you think. As a volume shipper - 3000 packages per year - I've seen just about everything. I've had packages go missing for weeks. I had a registered package get within a mile of its destination just to turn around and come back to me when the carrier got confused between East and West Main Street. I once had a package travel around the world for 6 months because it went to Brunei rather than Belgium and by the time it got to Belgium the recipient had moved.
99.9% of the time, it shows up.
Had a slab go missing for several months. Bubble package must have got caught in a sorter as what appeared to be a black rubber mark (from wheel) wore through mailer and wore down plastic on slab. Slap was seriously damaged, but coin was okay. Had to re-slab.
A month ago I sent a priority package from Virginia to my daughter in California. I inadvertently used an old address. I realized the mistake a couple of days later when checking the tracking information. I sent my daughter a message about the error. She went to the Post Office and gave them the tracking number and correct address. The next day, the PO called her and told her they had redirected the package and were holding it for her.
We have to balance our complaints with our compliments. (I suggested she write a nice real letter on paper commending the PO people involved.)
Ive had two packages that went missing just like this one shows. One turned up and one is still missing.
Successful Trades: Swampboy,
The last one I had like that I was lucky enough to intercept and thank god I paid the $20 to do so. By the time I got it things were right about to spill out. The only thing that held it all together was loose cardboard a little thicker than a business card. All the coins and stuff were there but if it had gone through another set of hands I bet it would've been toast. I pulled the piece out and things spilled everywhere. Two weeks of inventory. Very very glad for intercept service.
Usps has been very good lately, that after some serious problems where I was given the wrong information a number of times, went over the heads of window workers, and talking to a supervisor/postmaster the window workers lied about the interchange. This morning I had a Canada to US parcel I was supposed to get showing out for delivery a couple states over; it turned out to the seller had mis-entered mailing addresses, so it worked out when it turned out the recipients got what they ordered.
Did it show up last week?
Remove all jewelry. Loosen necktie and place your head firmly between your legs. And you know what happens next.
