I just had a package shipped from Ohio. It was scheduled to arrive tomorrow, Monday. It was in North Carolina. Today I got notice that they had shipped it back to Columbus, Ohio.
When you ship something back and forth for no reason, do you have to wonder why you are running out of money?
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

There could be a reason.

Another useless reply just to get a post. Stick to useful information instead of just posting to dispute everything 😁
Packages aren't shipped to their destinations individually, one at a time. They go as part of a group and sometimes it's more efficient to route them in a way other than a straight line.

Sounds like government logic.

As opposed to your post which has no information and is simply another of your trademarked unpleasantries. You are such a pleasure. Shouldn't you be scaring away newbies on another thread?
What i said was the short version of the following. Some i don't know the reason, i couldn't be more specific. Since he hasn't received the package yet, he could know whether, for example, there was an address error or something of that kind. I once had a package bounced back to a hub 3 times. When I inquired, they told me there was a bar code reading issue and it needed to be corrected to get the correct final routing.

They also sometimes bounce back to hubs for readdressing. While we may not know the reason, there could well be one.
I will also add that sometimes the tracking system hiccups and shows incorrect information that gets corrected later.
Or 1000 other things.

They could hold your package at the shipper's post office until they got enough mail to make a trip directly to your post office worth the trouble- they're not going to give someone one package and say "Drive this one over today", you know. It might take a month, but at least your package would go straight to you without any detours.

Any better?
No because I have bought from the dealer for years, and this mail pattern is totally new if it’s valid. The two addresses are not from “Smallville” to “Dinky Junction.”

Ok, I see now. They're doing something different, so it's wrong.

Well…..
So, you're saying that 1st class postage should be $2.04
