It means they're busy.

 

[DeadByDawn]

It means they fscked something up again

 

[ManSnake]

It means Java caught an exception during the pipeline execution. So your order will forever be in the 'In transit' status.

I had a delay excuse that says "train derailment" from ups

I didn't buy that.

You can not expect someone to actually look up the FAQs on their own. OR pick up a telephone and call a CSR.

No, that is to easy.

 

They found your drugs, expect the DEA at your door anyday now.

Here's the log for the two week trip that my Canon SD450 took. Notice how it went from California to Arizona to California? I had to call them three times before they sent it to my house.

Haha I had that happen with some canvas that was coming from Tokyo. Customs caused it.
