Issues with FWA4 and ORF2
Just curious if anyone else is having extremely long check-in times for these locations? The packages get delivered quickly, but just sit in that delivered not checked in phase. They are all small parcel packages just under 50 pounds.

I have an ORF2 delivered on July 25. Shipment FBA187QBLYV0
Sometimes they are really fast, sometimes really slow.
The delivery address for ORF2 is just a UPS holding center. Then the trailers are taken to the actual fulfillment center when there is room.
The problem is that the shipments are not being delivered to the actual fulfillment center, meaning Amazon can claim they never received the box.
Personally, the only time I send to ORF2 is when I can split some super cheap items to get multiple fulfillment destinations to save on placement fees. Even if they lose the package, I will make money.
So maybe 5% of a shipment is going to ORF2, with the bulk going to a East Coast reliable center (in order of best to worst) AVP1, CLT2, TEB9, and ABE8.
Usually, ORF2 pops up as the only option for a shipment during Thursday or Friday (and even then only sometimes), so shipping earlier in the week will fix the problem.
