I live in the Seattle area, and last week I feel like I started to see a massive spike in delivery times.<p>I've had a delivery that was supposed to arrive today that's been delayed for 2+ days. And when I look on for the delivery times of basically anything it seems like the expected delivery times are at the tail end of next week.<p>Just curious is others are seeing this across the country.
Seattle (and the rest of western washington) was mostly cut off from eastern washington by road starting late wednesday until a few hours ago today due to a massive amount of snow, closing the mountain passes. I-5 was closed a bit due to flooding as well. Rail through the mountains was also affected, but I don't know timelines.<p>A lot of goods move the other way (imports come into the western ports and are trucked east), but some goods do come from the eastern part of the state and country.<p>Staffing is probably also a factor.
During the start of the covid mess, Amazon was unreliable. I started using ebay again. Deliveries were much faster. It doesn't make much sense, but those were the results of my n=1 trial.
