    Im in Oklahoma. I was sending a package to a friend in Texas. It was routed through Tallahassee, FL and was delayed around 5 days before it made it. Besides some items just getting lost over the years, that is probably my only "wacky" story with the USPS, lol.

    I live in Orange County, CA, a few miles from PSA actually. One of my orders a few months ago was shipped out from PSA and traveled to Washington and back.

    Extra days for routing errors get my order back, sucked to wait that long, especially after a long order wait time.

    yeah. this was fun. double reroute, including Out For Delivery to me first time around and then inexplicably sent back to the origin.

    the seller actually got this package and resent it again, although it was thrashed and by the time it got to me the product inside was so badly damaged, I had to get eBay to assist me with the refunding process, including scans, a couple dozen message exchanges, and a follow-up feedback from the seller, blaming me for the fiasco. we're not the best of friends anymore. image

    This has happened to me twice this week as well. Once for a package I was receiving from a town about 20 mins from here. It went from there, to Indy, to Iowa, to Michigan, then back to here. Then for a card I sent from here to to the southside of town went all the way to Nashua as well then back to here, but not before stopping off in Chicago. I thought it was just me.

    Mine is not circuitous but rather interesting that it's taking 5 days to go from Albany to Jamaica NY. I can drive that in a few hours.

    My most interesting escapade was when my parents sent my wife a Mothers day gift.
    Sent from Fla to PA via Priority mail. It reached us 3-4 weeks later after stops in Munich, Germany
    & Zurich, Switzerland.
    Nice to know the package saw more of this world then we have.

    i don't have the tracking to share, but i bought an order from Kruk Cards. I believe they are in Michigan. It ended up going to Florida and then on to the Bahamas, then back to the US and finally making it's way to me in Washington.
