No ...
He just said he used USPS, and the weather had been bad out his way, so it might be slower than usual.
Not here, as of last night. Checking daily.

USPS provides tracking for anything they send. Even when I just sent out those single rolls of film to FMrs, there was a tracking code on the receipt. And I sent the film all over the country and everyone got it in a few days.
Ask him for the tracking code. He has not responded to me asking for it. It does not take this long, bad weather or not, to get a package from USPS.
If he is not willing to provide a tracking #, then something else is up.

USPS most assuredly does not provide tracking for everything. Nothing first class has tracking, nor is it an add-on item. You must use Priority or better to get it.

FYI Cope is active on IG and has so far ignored my requests for a tracking #.

He's probably using your multiple request to pump up his IG view count.

Wait... tracking or not wouldnt he at LEAST have a receipt showing that a parcel was mailed on the day he claimed? And usually (I believe) it includes the recipient's address on the receipt.

At some point, you will have to conclude that he just wants to keep your camera. Do you think you have any recourse? Presumably, not mail fraud (which might have been the most convenient) because he received the camera only. Anything else?

It’s the lack of any communication. Plenty of other members wanted to be involved in a fun project. It shows a lack of concern for all of the others involved. The guidelines were clearly laid out with the emphasis of keeping people informed. All of us expected some delays but sitting on the camera for a month and not answering messages is a whole different level.

He was online yesterday...he even made a post.
Zero effort on his part to clear the air about the camera.

I don't know where he's located, but weather has been a huge problem in the Eastern US. I've had serious problems with mail delays lately.
USPS tracking policies have changed. You don't have to use Priority to get tracking. For a long time you could get tracking on any 'package' shipped First Class, as PM is technically a euphemism for First Class packages.
Huss' film sendouts went via USPS Ground Advantage (my envelope with a roll of film was classified as a 1.2 oz package) and it did come with tracking.

He's in the Oregon / Washington border area.
As to tracking from the USPS, here's their table of services.
https://www.usps.com/ship/mail-shipping-services.htm
Looks like tracking comes with everything except for First Class letters / postcards.
Given their timetable, I'm hoping for this weekend. Cope07 sent me the PM on the 21st. Add 2-5 Days, and we're around the 23rd - 26th. Toss on a day for the weather, and that's looking like today or tomorrow being a reasonable expectation.

Hi everyone. Sorry for the drop in communication and for the lengthy delay. I, unfortunately, was not smoking ayahuasca in the jungle.
I did indeed ship the camera to Rustybug. The snow and then snow and then ice has made shipping around here very slow. (For reference my contacts which were supposed to take a week for the store to get took two weeks)
I anticipate it getting to him any day now.

Update: I've got a tracking number, it's on the box. 
Priority Mail
Postmark: 16Jan24
Expected Delivery: 18Jan24
Actual Delivery: 26Jan24
I'm thinking that with it being MORE THAN A WEEK AFTER the Expected Delivery ... somebody might be asking the USPS for a refund / credit. I mean, ten (10) days instead of two (2), that's quite a bit of difference.
Anyway ... the camera finally made its way across the Mississippi.

Thanks for rejoining! A little communication goes a long way.

Remember - assume the camera's shutter is already cocked! You cannot advance the film with the front panel closed.
So try and take a pic - if no clicky, advance then take the pic! You only get one shot!
