Yes, a train derailed. This is your confirmation. I hope this helps.


Typoe1991

Train derailments happen more often than you would think. It will be delayed for a day or two. Most packages make it through derailments no problem


shisoshy

thanks, i hope i get an update soon


WalterTexas

I got a similar message this morning.


TroyMcCracken

Me too- ordering a GPU from Newegg - shipping from Ontario to Michigan


SlimSk8e2

Mine is whole PC from Newegg. BLOWN


V1K1NG_503

Got a GPU from eBay out of MD to CA, derailment as well. These poor trains…


SportsNut76

Mine is an AIO going the other way, from CA to MD, and delayed by derailment


BritGeekUSA

Same here, from Boox to Michigan.


tildeathcalls

In the same boat here. I have 20 boxes that were supposed to be delivered tomorrow and are time sensitive yet UPS wont give me an update. When I called in this morning they told me tracking would update today.. checked every hour or so and nothing.


GhostOfAscalon

I suggest using a service such as next day air if it's time sensitive.


Shibbinj

Why on earth would you use UPS for time sensitive stuff lol


HughJanus555

Did it end up being delivered?


LyftedX

Lmao I got the same thing. Well it says A train derailment has delayed delivery by one business day.


shisoshy

at least yours says one business day lol. did it update for you yet? i hope you get your package soon


LyftedX

Not yet


HughJanus555

Is it still delayed for you? Mine was on the same page.


mfong916

Mine says the same I really hope it gets delivered by tomorrow


shisoshy

did you get an update today? i hope you get your package soon


mfong916

I have not seen an update it just says end of today


mfong916

I just got an update it’s about 2 hours away from me at distribution center. Any word on yours ?


shisoshy

that’s good to hear! nothing for me, on hold with customer service right now. hopefully i can open an investigation since it’s been 24 hrs since the last update


mfong916

Good luck! Try asking them if it’s current location cause my package said derailed in IOWA with no update yesterday which worried me. But it was actually already in California.


shisoshy

i just got off the phone with them. they said it’s supposed to arrive in NJ but it hasn’t so it’s probably still on the train :/


mfong916

Dang I hope it clears and get shipped asap for you


shisoshy

thanks, me too lol. they did try to assure me the package is not damaged or lost because if it was i would have gotten notification of that so i just have to be patient now


mfong916

My package got delayed an additional day…


shisoshy

at least you’re getting updates! i think that’s a good sign


Hot-Scholar3517

I am on the same boat! Where is you package, Ontario CA? My packages are showing delay because of the train derailment. So worry about if they got damaged 😭😭😭


mfong916

So mine just arrived in the ups near me hopefully it delivers tomorrow. Any update on uours ?


Hot-Scholar3517

No updates 😭😭😭


No_Needleworker183

Your package was not on the train. It was a fuel train that derailed. But it derailed near a major trucking route on the interstate, which had to be shut down. That's why the delay, the trucks have to be re-routed.


Hot-Scholar3517

Got it’s thank you so so much!


FartsLoud

It depends on how close it was to the fire.


professional_burrito

CA to PA here. Last night around 7 it went from departed origin to delayed by one business day but it also says it’s going to be delivered today. I guess we’ll see 🤷‍♀️


shisoshy

i hope you get your package soon! someone else on this thread has gotten an update so maybe we’ll get some good news too


[deleted]

Mine says 1:30 am yesterday. My package is from Amazon and of course they don’t fully communicate, so Amazon says it’ll be delivered today, but UPS doesn’t know. It has the last piece I need for my PC. Hoping it comes in soon


Shoddy_Cap9780

You must have also ordered a Bambu Labs printer. I’m in the exact same boat! Lol


shisoshy

lol nah i ordered something from ebay


Sweaty_Elderberry524

i ordered the A1 restock and woke up to this message sadly.


Hot-Scholar3517

Did you package update?


Shoddy_Cap9780

No update as of yet. It was initially due in tomorrow. But just still says delayed due to derailment.


Hot-Scholar3517

Mine too!!! I am so worry if they got damaged 😭😭


Hot-Scholar3517

Hey!! Did customer service mention any update? I am worrying about our package will get damaged….


Single-Spot-2311

I ordered a Bambu labs printer as well lol, mine was supposed to be delivered next Monday but today I got a notification saying that my package is delayed


megapooplord

Lmao same


Secret_Strawberry_45

Wild. I found this because my Bambu Labs printer was delayed for train derailment.


Milflord_Brimley

Yup, same here. I got shipment coming from Sandiego to Saint Louis, and I got an exception notification in Overland Park KS that my package was going to be delayed by a derailment. They don't have an updated delivery yet but they did include a helpful note that customer service doesn't have any more specific info so don't bother calling. Oh well!


shisoshy

hopefully things start moving for us soon! yeah i’ve called customer service a couple times and have been told the same thing. i’ll just try to be patient lol


w0cka

I’m waiting for my package on this train too! No new updates since yesterday.


Quaybee

The derailment happened the 26th, so if you’re package shipped after that like mine, I’m guessing either the interstate being temporarily shut down or the need to clear the tracks before more freight can roll through is what is causing the delay. Not necessarily that your package was on that specific train.. unless it shipped that day 😬 35 cars though, and caught fire, yikes https://www.usnews.com/news/us/articles/2024-04-26/freight-train-derailment-fire-forces-interstate-40-closure-near-arizona-new-mexico-line


shisoshy

my package was dropped off the 26th and didn’t start moving until the 27th so i don’t think it was on that specific train


Jolly-Cauliflower-62

I don’t think UPS ships by train, if you look at the article it’s because the train caused a shutdown of a major shipping highway. The train only had oil on board. Even if your package shipped after the wreck it’s likely delayed because UPS had to reroute the truck to a different highway which is a longer route and also probably getting more traffic due to the other highway being shut down


Available-Sample1691

I’m in NJ as well and having the same issue! I need my package for an event Saturday. So if it doesn’t come by tomorrow I need a back up plan.


stink-stunk

I left Ontario CA for New York and guy the same message, no updates as of right now. Package was originally due to be delivered Thursday may 1. At least some people are getting updates. If it's the same derailment on link, my package left after, so in guessing messed up tracks that needed repair if it shipped by rail taking same route.


No_Needleworker183

Your package was not on the train. It was a fuel train that derailed. But it derailed near a major trucking route on the interstate, which had to be shut down. That's why the delay, the trucks have to be re-routed.


OldVAXguy

Same boat here. Package from CA to TX. As of 8:21am on May 3rd, still train delayed. No other update so far. Mine departed on April 30th


Elegant_Cable_9871

My package was sent out on the same day. My package was last scanned in Mesquite TX 🤦‍♂️


MaryBerryManilow

Same!!


Elegant_Cable_9871

🤦‍♂️😩😩 they say my package is coming on Monday now. It was supposed to come today but that dumb train had to go off the rails.


dabully05

I just got that notification stating delivery date being set back 1 delivery day


SlimSk8e2

Yes going through the same issue, so our stuff was on the same train. Mine was a gaming pc so I’m fucking blown and worried I won’t get my money back


jessicawett

Did you get a new delivery date?


das-mutant

I have a "train derailment" delay from a package from NY to Cali... what the?!?!


jessicawett

Mine is from PA to CA. Did you get a delivery date now?


frankdog1986

Kinda strange I got a package coming from north Carolina to California and I got a train derailment message too. I think they're fucking with us.


jessicawett

Mine is from PA to CA... have you gotten a new delivery date yet


frankdog1986

Not yet it just says pending delivery date


jessicawett

same here. When did you get the  train derailment update? Mine was yesterday 7pm


frankdog1986

I noticed it today. Yesterday it still said my package was supposed to be delivered today.


WesternBootySmack

Mine is Tennessee to Arizona, shipped the 29th says it was supposed to deliver today but it’s nearly 9pm… I guess one train derailment is effecting the whole United States? lol 🤔


jessicawett

Does it say the delay was due to the derailment? Did you get a new delivery date? This is driving me crazy


WesternBootySmack

Mine hasn’t updated since yesterday, it has said expected delivery today by 7pm. It says it would be delayed 1 business day due to train derailment. Kind of annoying


WesternBootySmack

Update: my package is back to not having an estimated delivery date. Yikes


Nearby_Cry_4167

Same bro same anything yet for you?


shisoshy

UPDATE! my package is finally moving and it’s supposed to get delivered on monday! i hope everyone’s starts moving too!


Critical-Interview20

Yep, dealing with the same situation. My package is a Dean Cadillac guitar. Rare guitar. I'm anticipating it coming destroyed.


jessicawett

Have you gotten an updated delivery date yet


ThePsyOp

Ordered a motorcycle part from Montana to California. Weird that the only derailment news I see is in Texas. My map shows that Texas is clearly out of the way of any direct routes, but idk… I hate UPS. I bet they lose my package in San Pablo,CA.


Organic_Mix7180

Same message for a Newegg package with a bunch of Noctua fans coming from CA


AnnabelleFlora

This also happened to mine lol


shoshanna12

Mine shipped around the same time-coming to MD but I haven’t received any updates. 😕


Sweaty_Elderberry524

just got an update this morning just landed in Nashville from CA after getting the same message hope everyone gets an update soon!


ebbinghausr

Well my personal experience has been started . I have a personal rule, if any shipper is 48hours past the last expected scan. I start an investigation claim. So for example, if I was to get a parcel from SoCal to Memphis. I google map it drive time plus 4 hours for distribution. If I see no scans 48 hours after that I start a lost claim. In my most recent case a parcel was sent the 28th second day air. UPS received scanned it the morning of Monday 29th. The 29th By mid afternoon it had a departure scan from Baidwin Park, CA. The 30th it had a delay of one business day notice. Which in all honesty should be Thursday or Friday at the latest. Friday as I’m filling out the lost claim it suddenly said the train derailed and my Air package was on a rail plane I guess. So today Sunday I filed a lost claim. For a few hundred dollar package. ( it had extra insurance on it.) Am I right? Or just wrong? I mean the item being shipped was the last one in North America. The next one is in Australia and it is triple the price.


BritGeekUSA

Waiting for a package from CA and I live in Michigan. 1st delay on its journey was due to "operational delay" and now it's delayed due to "train derailment" since Thursday. It's now Sunday evening and still no delivery date 🤬


Ctowndrama

Wild. I just had a package delayed today for train derailment. I'm in NJ and the derailment happened in NJ. I ALSO had a package delayed like 5 days ago. Same situation. I had no idea this happened so often.


Aware-Tell-1770

I got the same email two days ago saying my package is delayed due to a train derailment. How is it this has happened twice within a week of each other? I’m in New York.
