Weird Tracking - Anyone else experienced something like this

Purchase about $650 worth of crds from Gary.

usually get them in about 5-7 business days from LV to Melbourne, Australia.

Went to check tracking and looks like my package came to Australia, then went back to the States, then to Canda, back to states and now no update for 6 days.

Glitch or actually happened?

Tracking number if you want to jump on USPS website:

LZ356067995US

Seems like it’s getting sent back but with a couple detours on the way

Send USPS A message on twitter(so you dont have to make a long distance call). They’ve fixed issues like this for me before. Sometimes packages get misrouted by mistake.

That’s what i thought. @garyis2000 thinks it will be ok and no need to contact them.

It happened to me when i sent a package to canada once, its like a glitch, it will resolve itself most likely.

Thanks for this information. So weird if it is!

I had a package that I sent to France that was refused at customs by the buyer… and it then proceeded to come back to US (to my local post office but no further), then go back to France, only to go back to the US… and then back to France again. I called USPS and they were able to track it down and get it delivered to me. I was incredibly annoyed the whole time but in the end they said it was just a routing error, who knows! So there was a base set booster box living in airports and hubs for over 2 months earlier this year. Let USPS know if it gets to be too long, and they’ll help you out!

Edit: Also I’m dumb- maybe called Australian post will help you out more! But either way, someone will be able to help I hope. Good luck!

Nah they won’t help, they will just say it’s a UPS issue.

I had a package that was send to the other side of the world for no reason and it arrived with me after a month, sometimes mistakes happen but usually they’ll find their way back

Below is the trek it’s taken.
Note on April 7th the label was printed at 4:37pm AND shipped out in the postoffice by 5:30pm. The first update after that was 3 days later in a different state lol.

I’m starting to get worried. All your other packages come in about a week. Any chance you can get in touch with usps please? @garyis2000

This happens from time to time.

I would not worry much about it in the sense that it would get lost, but the turnaround time from this type of confusion usually makes you receiving the package significantly longer.

Lots of memes from post office blunders happen this way!

Post office said it was delivered to a “postal agent” in Australia on the 19th. I just checked tracking and it says,

What is an Australian Postal Agent for all you aussies out there.

I did ask at our post office (I have video) and all they know is Australia has it and there’s nothing we can do here.

Once it leaves the US there is nothing USPS can do at that point. It is entirely up to the receiving country to do their job, which can be optional for Aussie post.

I wouldn’t be to worried about it yet, sometimes it takes a wrong route and we have to be patient. I sometimes have to wait 1,5 month for my cards to arrive from the US (I’m from EU).

Awesome!!! That literally happened oveenight. So the tracking is lagging but its comforting to know its in Australia.

It’s in customs by the looks of those scans.
