    Just wondering if any of you has experienced this before. A box going out to @Lars13 has been "In transit" for 3 days already without a scan. He requested it to be held at a nearby location as he usually does but this time the box went to a black hole. How much time should we wait before giving up and filing a claim? I already have the replacement box contents ready just in case.

    Sometimes if you call and ask about it, they can give you more information than the online tracker.

    It can't be scanned when it's loaded trailer on the big road

    Ohio to New York should only take a couple days via FedEx Ground. Heck, I ship Minnesota to New York and get it there in 3 days. I'd call the hotline and see if they can provide any info on this. If nothing else, they can open what's called a "trace" and alert all of the stations it's been through so folks can see if maybe it was accidentally left behind somewhere.

    Normally I'd say that there was a missed scan somewhere along the way but after 3 days, I think it's time to start considering other possibilities. Best of luck, I hope it turns up!

    Contacted them and they opened the "investigation" to locate the Ohio maple syrup. Mentioned that HomeDelivery doesn't work on Mondays so we should wait until Wednesday to see if something happens.

    If its over the weekend and shipped on thurs or friday it could go 3 day as in tansit, until it arrives a destination hub and receives a scan, if HOME track it tomorrow even thou they are not delivering on Monday.
