Anyone having trouble with the Post Office tracking system

Ebay email said I'd have my package today, didn't come so I used the tracking # on the USPS website and
here's what it told me, got everywhere at midnight but they don't say where at midnight. I think they lost my
package. Anyone ever have a tracking experience like this?

... gets put on the wrong truck somehow, get returned when it reaches that destination. Then off to the correct destination. Frustrating if you're trying to keep to a schedule, but overall pretty harmless.

at the next destination and they don't even know where that destination is. I'm betting my package is
still in Atlanta Ga or it got lost somewhere around there.

they changed my tracking today to read left Atlanta Ga, and the next line said 12/6/26 arriving late,
erased everything in between.

They don't track, or just move it from side to side deciding which truck has room today. Often they rent impromptu warehouses to temporarily store packages at holiday season. If your packages need scanning at this time of year, take it physically to the post office and wait in line so they do it.
