    I purchased a pretty rare Photo pamphlet about the 10th Pennsylvania Volunteers in the Spanish American War at Camp Merrit in San Francisco and it made it from Northern California to San Jose ( across the hill from where I live in Santa Cruz ) and the Post Office promptly sent it to TEXAS and I am still waiting for it .... I hope it makes it here in one piece !!!!

    Second time in two months they have done this with an item. Anyone else experience this often ?

    Not uncommon. I sell a lot on eBay and I've seen quite a few packages that I've sent go through some convoluted paths before making it to the intended party.

    I don't really know why it happens. I stopped hawking over tracking info to keep my sanity.

    Yesterday I finally received an Amazon mailed package. Left Oregon, went to Maryland to come back to Wisconsin. . .seems to me that was a rather long route - LOL

    In Transit to Next Facility
    Your package will arrive later than expected, but is still on its way. It is currently in transit to the next facility.

    Sometimes the US Mail earns its US Snail nickname.

    Knock on wood, I haven't had any lost packages since this one I posted several years ago on another site...
    This is was 4 1/2 years ago but it's my "best" lost package story yet.
    This package was supposed to be delivered locally about 5 miles away from me. He didn't put a suite number on his shipping address (new user). I looked up his address online to find it was a hi-rise office bldg. in downtown Lauderdale. He never made contact with me about it. I eventually refunded him after I got the package back though. Just under $80. It led to a 7 week journey up and down the eastern seaboard. This package finally arrived back at my doorstep on June 27. It was mailed on May 5. They never did update the tracking info. If they did it was days later after I checked for the last time.
