On the way, but it's running late. [View all]

On April 3, I ordered three items from Amazon. They were shipped immediately, then languished in a post office in Erlanger, KY (63 miles away). I kept receiving the "on the way, but it's running late" message from Amazon. The tracking number didn't exist on the USPS website. On April 9, Amazon determined that the package was "undeliverable" and refunded my payment.

I immediately re-ordered two of the three items (the third was out of stock, thanks, apparently, to my ordering the last one). They were, again, immediately shipped. Throughout the day today, I was informed that I would receive the package by 10 PM tonight. I just checked, and it's now languishing in a post office in Maumee, OH (142 miles away), scheduled for delivery on Thursday. This time, no "on the way" message, but, consistent with the last attempt, the tracking number is a phantom at USPS.

This is barking mad. How many times should I order these items before I get off my ass and go to the store?
