Sometimes Amazon relies on the USPS.

When they do that, there is a real gamble on getting your order.

I find the same problem with other companies that rely on our government operated USPS.

My fencing shoes are $200 per pair. Thanks to USPS screwing up shipping, I got one pair of $200 shoes for free, but they arrived MONTHS late. I got another pair at 1/2 price, but they took a month to arrive. Had DHL, UPS, FedEX been the shippers choice I would have likely gotten my shoes in days, maybe a week. But with USPS, it can literally take MONTHS to get what you order.

My guess is your Tap is in the USPS transit black hole.

The pair of fencing shoes I got "free" were transferred back and forth between Bedford Park, IL and Chicago, IL a half dozen times. Then to Indianapolis, IN. Back to Bedford Park, IL. Etc. Etc. Etc. The company finally gave me full credit and then weeks later the shoes arrived.

On a different note, but complaining about USPS, I sent a check to one of my property mangers. 9 days to get 200 miles. Didn't cross state lines. I have little faith is USPS.

Good luck.

I hope that Amazon did not rely on USPS to ship your Tap.
