What does it mean when shipment is delayed for extra carrier processing?

[episodic]

I've had a package stuck in tracking in Oklahoma City for 4 days now. . . It says delayed for extra carrier processing - sigh. When I call the carrier, they can't tell me why. BTW, yea, I know this post is futile. . .

Pretty sure that is code for "we can't find it"

They finally started using drug dogs at the hubs?

lol - if it hit on a wacom pen, then they are going to be sorely disappointed.

yup. means that somebody "lost" it in the trunk of their car on their way home.

We had a pretty bad (for us) snowstorm here Tuesday. Probably just backed up due to the hub being understaffed, and not being able to get as many trucks in and out.

Could be customs if it came from out of country.

Really, didn't think much was going on that far south. Yea, it left tulsa and was scanned into OKC Tuesday morning early - and there it has sat. I paid for overnight too is why I'm miffed, needed it for a job as I broke my old pen. Talked to the shipper just now, they sent out another at no cost overnight - sucks I won't get it till Monday though. Best case, both show up and I have a backup pen. . .

I hate using the mouse. . .grrrr

Tuesday we got about 12" of snow with lots of 3' drifts from the wind. Most all of the city was shut down on Tuesday and a pretty good part of Wednesday. A lot of streets are still pretty rough, the city just doesn't have the resources available to deal with that much snow.

Don't worry, they are just warming up your FleshLight.

It means that they're not done playing soccer with your package...yet.

When it arrives; request for a refund of the special handling charges

Yea, that was kind of weak. . . you must need the caffeine.

\ Was it ticking?


/ Actually throwers don't worry about ticking 'cause modern bombs don't tick.


\ Sorry, throwers?


/ Baggage handlers. But, when a suitcase vibrates, then the throwers gotta call the police.


\ My suitcase was vibrating?


/ Nine times out of ten it's an electric razor, but every once in a while [looks around, leans in conspiratorially]it's a dildo.[leans back] Of course, it's company policy never to imply ownership in the event of a dildo. We have to use the indefinite article: "a dildo", never "your dildo".
