I placed an order with Scrapbookpal last Friday. I've gotten it shipped to the hotel my husband is staying at, and I tried to time it so that it would have gotten there by tomorrow. I just got an email from Scrapbookpal with the the tracking information in it that says the package will get there on Friday (which is too late since my husband will leave early Friday morning). Should I be panicking? Or is there a good chance that USPS can get it there by Thursday at the latest?

Have you looked at the actual USPS website to see where your package is? There is a slim chance it can come early, but I wouldn't count on it.

Did you or your husband clear it with the hotel that he would be getting a parcel while he was there. A couple of years ago I had American Girl doll stuff sent to me in Florida and when I called they told me they would be happy to receive and hold it for me. We are planning a trip to Florida in a few months, and when I read the reservation confirmation, one of the points is that they will NOT accept 3rd party parcels.
If the hotel will accept the parcel, is there someone who can pick it up if your husband is already on his way home? (a co worker or conference organizer?) If there is, then your dh may need to make those arrangements in advance with the hotel or they may just refuse to accept mail for a person who has checked out.
I think that the parcels get to the distribution centres and stay there for awhile. In Canada, when I see Mississaga on the tracking, I roll my eyes and realize it will be there for awhile.

Yes, thankfully the hotel is fine with receiving packages for guests. I've asked my husband to talk to them about forwarding the package to us, but I'm a little annoyed since it will negate the point of using Scrapbookpal, i.e. the free shipping. I suppose this was bound to happen at some point though, but it is aggravating. I hear you on the distribution centres! Mine has been in Idaho for 2 days now

Sometimes USPS doesn't update tracking info. I was expecting a package for Feb 9-Feb 16 and it was delivered today. When I checked yesterday it was still in Grand Rapids, Michigan. So there is still hope.
ETA- and I'm in California.

I have to say...you really lucked out!! Their tracking info is usually accurate, which can be frustrating when you see your package so close yet so many days away...
