How long do shipments usually stay in "Processing"?
4I was lucky (and fast) enough to get an IRK on June 24th, and according to the tracker it soon went to the “Processing” stage…where it has been ever since. Now, I have read of incidents where people have received their shipments while the packages were supposedly still in “Processing”, and I was wondering if this was normal or not.

That happens occasionally but I usually get an email that it’s been shipped. You can look at the top of the sale thread to get an estimated date.
Processing can take days, weeks, months, ages, eons, epochs…shipping can take roughly the same amount of time. Recently I’ve found Meh’s estimates to be conservative. Given that I’ve got two open orders which say delivery is expected by 8 or 9 July at the latest and neither has shipped yet I’m thinking that trend might be reversing.

@Cerridwyn I wonder what joke they told her to get her to smile like that.
@GrandmaLyn
they just showed her the paycheck
@Cerridwyn @GrandmaLyn Kind of like the Mona Lisa of underwear.
Some people got their June irk shipping notices late today so stuff is starting to move. Remember they just had a 3 day holiday.
Thank you for submitting your question to our Master Enquiry Handling portal. We value your input.
Processing…
Ooooo, I just checked and mine has moved to “Shipped.”
.
Thx. for the reminder.
Mine just shipped yesterday; they treat IRKs with all the enthusiasm they are due, so just be patient. If you happen to have memory problems, it can even feel like you sent your future self a present when it finally arrives!
Well, mine has just been shipped, with July 13th as the arrival. I know I didn’t get ten pounds of pasta, because the package was described as 6in. x 4in. x 1in. and only weighs 1lb.
Any guesses?
@MAPinnick those are just default weight and measurement numbers. Sometimes they may update to actual numbers along the journey many times they won’t.
@Ignorant So it is probably NOT a small bundle of money?
@Ignorant @MAPinnick Well if you are lucky it is a big bundle of money. Although knowing meh it would be monopoly money or counterfeit or something.
in my experience, it’s usually until it says “shipped”.

@Yoda_Daenerys I’ve missed you.

Well, it supposedly arrived at noon today. I say “supposedly” because we are currently at a vacation resort 250 miles away and won’t be home until tomorrow.
When I get home I’ll report on the contents.
Let us just hope that the Shipment Processor is not like a Food Processor, which chops up everything until there are no particles large enough to associate with anything identifiable, and then stops and lets it all slump into the bottom to be scraped out and presented to the possibly-unwilling victim. Although this would explain the traditional broken mugs. the current evidence seems to support a different operational paradigm.
