Basically it bounced between Louisville, Kentucky and Chicago, Illinois. That’s 300 miles.

The bad thing is there was nothing wrong on the package that would cause that. No extra barcodes or anything.

What the.....   :o  :sa: 
was that a mail delivery or a tour of the US...?  :facepalm:

My guess is that awl is secretly a guitarist in a Dutch band, and they just took the opportunity to make a quick US tour...  :rofl:

All these post delivery systems are highly automated these days. If there's a wrong bar code, or a missing label, or the label exchanged with a label on another package (which can happen when a label isn't glued well on the package), then the system goes berserk, without knowing it. It will take some time before somebody wakes up, and then the package has to be checked in by hand into checking points. That's my guess... for what it's worth.

The package was perfect best I could tell. Only possible snafu is a partial barcode belonging to the envelope itself, poking out from behind the customs label.

So... basicly Kentucky and Illinois distribution centers played tennis with it?  ::)

Boy haven't I seen that with our order system or what... One part travelled back and forth between France and Finland quite a few times once, before someone noticed... :facepalm:
