22. My Experience With The Chicago Center

A similar thing happened to me a couple years ago, actually before DeJoy mucked things up. It was for a prescription out of Arizona.
In my case, it appears to have something to do with a third party carrier getting it to the Chicago center in the first place.
Our local postmaster looked it up and found that although the package had been delivered, the 3rd part (DHL, i think) never transferred custody, so USPS was unable to move it. It just sat there, so i just got my doctor to send the scrip to a local pharmacy, called the insurance company and got them to cancel any charge on the original and only pay their part of the new one.
Big hassle, but after hearing what happened i couldn't blame USPS.
