I've had this exact same thing happen NUMEROUS times...it has nothing to do with "right now", nor does it have anything to do with COVID-19. I've had packages listed by the USPS as "delivered" that never showed up, I've had packages listed as "out for delivery" that have actually been delivered 2-3 days later, I've had (SEVERAL times) packages that were delivered where the carrier delivered them to other neighbors, I've had packages delivered that were actually for my neighbors, and so forth.
I'm not exactly sure as to what happened, or when, exactly, things like this started happening...to the best of my recollection, it was approximately 3-5 years ago (read into that any way you like)...but, I do know that these types of problems HAVE gotten progressively worse over that past two years. I also know that several of my neighbors (myself, included) have filled numerous complaints with the local Post Office. as well as the regional Postal Service Consumer Affairs office, and NOTHING had been corrected. It's almost as if they could care less. The best I can tell, as long as they deliver mail & packages to "someone's" address, that's 'good enough' for them. There's an old saying about being "good enough for government work", and, right now, the USPS is 'living up to' that saying.
Just in the past two months, I can confirm that I've had 5 packages that have any combination of the above-mentioned problems. One, in particular, had a very "interesting journey", before finally getting delivered, which was also a week later than it should have been. The package departed Peoria, AZ, and headed to Las Vegas, where I was visiting family. However, instead of being delivered, it was loaded into another trick, and made its way to Denver, CO, where it sat for two days. When I called the USPS, to find out what the frak' was going on, they have no explanation. After sitting in Denver, it made its way into another truck, which had to have gone right back through Vegas, as it ended up in Los Angeles...and, again, sat for two days. Upon calling USPS again, they appeared to be even more confused than I was, as they still had no explanation as to what was going on, or why the package was "traveling the US". After sitting in L.A. for two days, it finally made its way to my parents house...yet, strangely enough, it did so without stopping their the Las Vegas Distribution Center - it went straight from L.A., to North Las Vegas - which should not be possible.
Just another example...actually, several examples...of the USPS royally screwing things up. One of the biggest problems work the USPS is that, as a department under the Executive Branch of the U.S. Government, there is NO accountability when things go awry. That's my 3-cents worth (inflation).
