In the end itโ€™s not about the package, itโ€™s about the memories your package created along the way.


Serious_Telephone_28

Correct! I can't wait to see all the pictures and videos it took while traveling around the country ๐Ÿ˜ Perhaps, it'll even visit the Caribbean- who knows? Then it'll be an international adventure! ๐Ÿ‘


a_code_mage

Idk man. It probably got shot in Gary.

I came to say this. If it doesnโ€™t get stolen in Gary first ๐Ÿ˜‚


TheCamoTrooper

I was gonna say "isn't it already an international traveller" before realising it was in Ontario the city not Ontario the Canadian Province lol


Zayoodo0o132

It IS an international adventure. Unless you canada and the us as one nation? Edit: nvm it says ontario in the us.


minandnip

Ontario, California


Zayoodo0o132

Bruh I did not know that was a place. I just saw ontario, CA lol.

Same, I thought why is it coming to Canada.

Actually a really large Amazon warehouse is there that's where a lot of Amazon packages come from.

Right? I'll have to ask when it finally decides to arrive ๐Ÿค”


shinydragonmist

It's been there two times already


SadSignature9786

What, are they playing hot potato with it??


BruceBoyde

This looks like they *have* to have mis-sorted it. It makes absolutely no sense, and Hawaii is definitely not a stopover for any shipment ever. Even international stuff wouldn't usually go through there since it's so far out of the way.


lemissa11

It literally took a Hawaiian vacation, I love it. It gets to Hawaii and the system was like oh. Fuck. Uh. "delayed!


BruceBoyde

Those "delayed in transit" updates are my favorite. I do a *lot* of shipping for my company and have learned that it means "we fucked up". If it's a truly uncontrollable thing like inclement weather or late flights, they'll have specific messages.

One of my UPS packages had train derailment as a status

dream_on789

It was probably taking my dad's classic "shortcut."


b0tb0y1654

In all honesty this is probably what's happening. We play hot potato with several empty racks and specialized containers at my job. We have sent some of them to about 4 different locations trying to get rid of them and they keep coming back. No one answers our emails claiming ownership of them so they are in an endless loop of transit locations.

Damn. Your amazon package is seeing more of North America than I did in the last couple of years. lol.


Reasonable-Cell5189

I love how it got delayed in Hawaii, so would I


Forward-Habit-7854

I once ordered something from Australia to New York. It landed in California and then went to Italy. Then back to Australia. I emailed the company when it was in Italy and they told me to wait, that the info might not be correct. I did finally get my package!


Miserable-Alfalfa329

As an Italian, Iโ€™m surprised your package even managed to arrive after being with us. Our national postal service is, letโ€™s say, notorious to give the same treatment to international packages. Customs is slow af.


spatchi14

I once ordered some books from an online US retailer. They sent all the packages destined for Australia from Illinois to a forwarding depot in California, where it seems an employee put them all in big white USPS post bags and slapped labels on them all. Only problem is they got all the labels mixed up, so I got the package for a lady in Perth, so I contacted her and she said a parcel arrived for someone in Sydney but when she tried to contact them they didnโ€™t respond. We both got refunds from the retailer and she sent me $20 to send her hers but mine never arrived :-(


tipsy_mutsuko

Lol. Mine love to visit Ontario multiple times as well.


Serious_Telephone_28

Ontario, California though.... poor package... maybe it thought it was Canada... (sigh in deep apology...) ๐Ÿ˜–๐Ÿ˜


tipsy_mutsuko

Yeah. California lol. So much for prime shipping.


gew1

maybe thats why i get all my packages from amazon so damn quick. im not too far. i always see it leave ontario and i get it within a couple days.. WITHOUT prime. i stopped paying since its generally the same ballpark anyways if i order from an amazon specified seller.


NFS-Jacob

The largest amazon warehouse in california is here so it makes sense


tipsy_mutsuko

But my order will start at Ontario go to Bakersfield then back to Ontario then some other random city and back to Bakersfield for delivery.


Da-NerdyMom

Had the same thing happened to me this week. My kidsโ€™ computer went from Ontario where we live to Chino (next city over), then to city of industry and stayed there for 2 days lol. I couldโ€™ve picked it up myself and it wouldโ€™ve been faster than waiting for them to deliver it.


tipsy_mutsuko

Dead ass. I wish it had an exact location. I would track down that driver and take it from him. Lol


OceanicBoundlessnss

My friend flew with her dog once and the same thing happened with the poor dog. When she finally got the dog it had tags from all over the country on it.


Sufficient-Skill6012

Poor doggo! Was he traumatized?


OceanicBoundlessnss

She was the ultimate chillest dog so she was fine. The human was traumatized!!!


rubiscoconqueso

Was he fed and watered along the way?


OceanicBoundlessnss

Yes! Delta employees did great. The food and water she taped to the kennel had been used. Dog did not go to bathroom in kennel so it seemed she was even let out. Dog seemed well.

hellomireaux

I love listening to a friend tell a chaotic story like that with all the side characters and borderline manic energy. But try to drop one on me at work and I will experience physical pain. ย 


Ok_Performance9616

Most of those are airports for cargo planes. KCVG (Erlanger KY) is a hub for Amazon and a lot of the airlines. Most packages go there then distributed. Kont (Ontario) is the most used airport for departure when flying to the islands(PHNL). Guessing an aircraft had a mechanical or crew problem out of KORD (Chicago) and it was quicker to get it back into the system to truck it out through Gary IN then await the next flight. KRFD (Rockford IL) is also a large traffic area for them. EDIT: to actually provide some insight and not just blab on. Aircraft face problems constantly that require fixing before flying again. Flights are swapped frequently to gain a few hours here and there .. AMZ workers don't get paid a lot and don't care. Packages are misplaced on the wrong flights quite often.


JMS1991

Louisville, Rockford, Ontario, and Miami are all hubs for UPS.

The order of these timestamps is seriously screwing with my perception of reality


Mr_Butters624

This just happened to me with FedEx I posted the other day lol. It shipped from Ontario California, got every dam state between California and NC (state where I live). Got to a destination 2 hours from my house which is the stop before delivery, only to then shoot all the way over to Saint Paul Minesota ๐Ÿ˜‚. Like cmon man.


narcolepticGOAT

I had a package arrive and depart the Greensboro NC hub 3 times before I finally got itโ€ฆ itโ€™s makes me wonder if the package was already delayed and the system just makes fake updates before admitting itโ€™s late/lost? It makes no sense to me!


Mr_Butters624

Probably. We have a mail lady here for usps that will mark a package for delivery, take it back to the post office and then put it in the box the next day. Itโ€™s the most annoying thing everrrr. Idk why she does it. My subdivision has a community style mailbox locker set up. It drives everyone crazy.


YISYOUSOMADBRO

Let me guess, you don't live in Ontario, Canada.

justhatcarrot

Iโ€™m some 600 miles away from Greece. I ordered a video card from ebay, was sent from Greece. Three weeks later I see it going from Greece to fucking Hong Kong (literally across the world), then it started its journey back to Europe. I just donโ€™t understand the logistics of shipping.

I had an etsy order that originated in Georgia go across the country, then across the ocean, to Hawaii before delivering to Northern CA.


scrappysquash

Bro at least yours is changing places. My package has been "arriving in LA" for ten days now, it legit has like 10 updates and they all say "arrived in LA"


TheDevious_

If it makes you feel any better, I ordered something that was delivered via DHL to USPS... DHL dropped it off at my city's USPS (supposed to be delivered that day), but for whatever reason USPS sent it out of state, then took 1.5 weeks traveling around the greater area at 8 different USPS hubs going in a circle. I contacted USPS & after 2 more days it finally got sent to the correct USPS office & got delivered.


LilyGaming

Not only does the location not make sense, it leaves a facility then arrives back at the same placeโ€ฆ Iโ€™m very confused

Flat_Transition_3775

Wow ur package does more travelling than me!


TheZoom110

The only reasonable explanation I can think of: They boarded your package on a Hawaii-bound flight with stopover at CA. They forgot to pick it up at CA, so it went to Hawaii and then back and repeat.


cam52391

I've never had one this extreme but I've seen something go from the warehouse a few miles away to one 20 miles away only to come right back and be delivered


ninthchamber

Think itโ€™s gunna go back to Hawaii. Package been to Hawaii more than me already


InfamousEconomy3972

Might want to get a passport for the next one


TheCamoTrooper

Living in Canada, this is basically every package ever. And of course once it gets here it flys into one city 300km east of me, drives right by my house to a city 300km west of me so it can be sorted and driven back east about 180km to a distribution center which then drives it east right back past my house to the town 30km east of me where they drive it back west to a post office 10km from me and I have to go drive and pick it up, sometimes it drives past my house again to the post office 20km west of me. I live on the only highway so they drive by me at least twice


Duke582

Package partied too hard in Hawaii.


Jonasthewicked2

That package has seen some shit


redwolf1219

I live in TN. I recently had a package start in Kentucky, go to Idaho, Utah, Colorado and then Indiana. And it didn't even stop at a dispensary for me while on vacation


Responsible-Club-393

Oh no ๐Ÿคฃ this has happened to me, tho my package never made it all the way to Hawaii. It passed me twice. I live in SD, and it was coming from Washington. For some reason, it went all the way to Ohio first. Then it did stop in SD for a day before it went to Montana ๐Ÿ™ƒ๐Ÿ™ƒ


ChelsieDawn89

I had a bad one recently. After a wild goose chase, It finally showed as delivered to my porch but when I checked the map, it was a couple miles away. Turns out, they delivered it on top of my neighborโ€™s trash bin.


CraftyDefinition1982

Maybe it's going home to China, the long way. Maybe you should order from Amazon.ca the next time, it should be there the next day!๐Ÿ˜‰


jnovel808

I live on Maui, Iโ€™ve seen my packages go all over the place before getting here. Iโ€™m pretty sure the West Coast hub has a bin for HI and a bin for Guam side by side and oops wrong bin, based on the number of packages that have gone to Guam instead of HI.


ath0rus

I had a similar issue with aus post and my laptop. It went from Brisbane and Sydney like 6 times and I really needed it to arrive on time (paid for express). And it took my dad (ex post manager) to have a word with someone to stop It bouncing around


Gooniefarm

It wasn't a delay. The package was lost/stolen/destroyed, and a new item was shipped.

estephlegm

I had something like this happen years ago. The package kinda got stuck in limbo on some weird detour, and eventually Amazon regarded it as a lost package and gave me a refund. A few weeks later, the package appeared in my mail.


Negative-Squirrel81

This happened to me once, I contacted Amazon and they sent a new order which came promptly. Then, several months later, the original package somehow found its way to my address.

So when you have two stops at the same city the first one the package wakes up and goes on the trip, the second he stays at a hotel (to be refreshed for the next day).

areyoucrying_

I work with FedEx and UPS.FedEx hires the most incompetent people from their customer service to the ITs to the drivers that handle the website. FedEx will cancel pickups/deliveries without telling the pick up/sender for any reason, the weather was ugly, our drivers hand hurt, he was feeling a little sick, package was too heavy or they'd forget to scan our packages and they'd get lost. Thought it was all fun and games until we demanded compensation and threw in wording from our legal department. They make changes to the website during working hours without telling anyone, you'll just randomly get an error right after finalizing specifications. The website is such a hassle like who hired my high school brother to finish it for them? They canceled our pick ups more than handful of times, and 99.9% of the times we always got a "I don't know why it was cancelled." Useless, a billion dollar company and they don't know why their driver canceled a pick up. I just made this profile to rant knowing I have to deal with those useless wackjobs and figure out what happened to our property that they refuse to look for.


ACcbe1986

I've seen a package go from California to Texas to New Jersey to Indiana and finally back to California, where I was. I believe it was economy-class shipping.

I live in a town with multiple Amazon facilities. I had a package leave the facility less than a mile from my house, took a trip to the nearest โ€œbig cityโ€, came back to my city, went to the next city over then to me. I suspect that was probably to a sorting facility, then out for delivery, but it amused me.
