Comment on The route my package is taking that made it late

  I imagine the red line indicates the expected destination and the blue line was soooo close until it got confused and took a stroll over to Columbus.

  I’ve seen some bad ones lately too. Had a package go from Texas to Florida, to Chicago, to the northeast somewhere and finally back to Florida for delivery. And a few where clearly something has glitched in the tracking system, leaving locations before they arrived at them, being picked up from one place but shipped from the other side of the country, etc.

    It went from Columbus to Georgia, think the redline is to show the level of stupid. Shipping history, since he was kind enough to provide the USPS tracking number in his screenshot:

      This information is pretty key. I assumed they were in Richmond from the picture.

  I wouldn’t know, all I know is it was scheduled to arrive the 16th, came to the distribution center 10 minutes from my house, then went halfway across the country

    Your diagram is confusing. Where did it start?

    Oh, I’m misunderstanding the map. Did the package not start in Columbus? Or is that were it is now?

      I think the play button is where it started and the logo of a mail truck is where it is right now (down in North Carolina, I think).

      The thing is, it went straight from Columbus to a distribution center in the suburbs of Chicago, right near OP’s house before deciding to take a gap year and see half the dang continent
