Strange Tracking
I have been trying to return a package to Amazon for over a month now. I think it might make it this time! I have two tracking numbers, and one of them (1Z7R23Y69088829050) reports the following tracking data:

Notice how it magically disappeared for almost a month after reaching Kentuky, and then reappeared in Menlo Park, only to be shipped off again. UPS magic!
That means the package has travelled over 7,000 miles since when I tried to ship it!

This happens often with UPS.
You usually need to call them so they can intercept the package. It will keep going back and forth forever otherwise. There’s a place in the shipping container where these can apparently get “stuck/hidden”.
You won’t believe what they look like when they finally arrive. I had one in limbo for about 3 months one time. When they shipped it back to me you could tell it had been though a lot.

Truly epic!
Seems like it’s happening to FedEX, too.

Do you ever have issues getting your Amazon purchases delivered correctly? So far I have had 3 purchases that are still MIA somewhere.
