Why Is My Economy Shipment Delayed?

If your Economy shipment or P.O. Box delivery seems delayed, this guide explains why it may take longer, how to track its progress, and what steps to take if it doesn’t arrive on time.

When you select Economy shipping at checkout, your order will be delivered through your local postal service. This delivery method involves a handoff from our carrier (FedEx or UPS) to your local post office before the package reaches you.


Why Economy Shipments Can Take Longer

Economy shipments are first transported by our carrier partner (FedEx or UPS) and then handed off to your local post office for final delivery. This handoff period can sometimes add up to one additional week before your package is delivered.

Please note: All P.O. Box deliveries are automatically sent using Economy shipping, since only local postal services can complete those deliveries. If you chose Economy shipping or entered a P.O. Box as your delivery address, your order will follow this same handoff process.

 

 

How to Track Your Economy Order

  1. Find your tracking number in the shipping confirmation email (sent to the email address you used at checkout).

  2. Check both your inbox and spam/junk folders if you don’t see this email.

  3. Enter your tracking number at tracking.mimeophotos.com to view the latest status.

  4. Tracking numbers usually take 24–48 hours to activate once the package leaves our facility.


What to Do Next

  • If your tracking shows the package has been handed to your local post office, or if it appears there has been no movement: This usually means the package is in the handoff stage between carriers and your local postal service. Please allow up to 7 additional days for the tracking to update and for delivery to be completed.

  • If it has been more than a week since your last tracking update or you believe your package is lost: Contact our support team so we can investigate further.
