I was thinking the mailman walked all over your recently planted day lilies, because it happened to me.
I had that problem in Maplewood (where I converted the entire front to a perennial garden). Here I have left a path, so he/she don't have that option.
The tracking report turned out to be in error. The package did not go back to GA, but the package took 4 days to reach me (vs 2 days for the FL package that was shipped at the same time).
You're not alone. I have had much longer delivery foul-ups with the USPS. They just don't seem to be able to get it together. It's no wonder the competition is thriving.

I am still working on the plantings at our 'new' (2022) house. I ordered $100+ of modern daylilies from a grower in Georgia.
