Parcel update (the express post one from the NBN I made the mistake of redirecting)!

So after my update on Thursday it did a little bit, but nothing interesting. It bounced from sunshine West to Melbourne airport, then bounced back to sunshine West where it sat until today.

Except a couple hours ago, something did happen! Any guesses where it is now? Drumroll please… Adelaide!

  Indeed! Here’s the journey so far:
  
  Strathfield (NSW) > [the new suburbs LPO] > Dandenong South > Sunshine West > Dandenong South > Dandenong South > Dandenong South > Sunshine West > Sunshine West > Melbourne Airport > Melbourne Airport > Melbourne Airport > Melbourne Airport > Melbourne Airport > Melbourne Airport > Sunshine West > Adelaide Airport

    I don’t live there yet, so I couldn’t have signed for it and didn’t want it left so decided it’d be better to redirect it to the current house. In hindsight I should’ve just left it as it was, then it would’ve failed delivery and I could’ve picked it up from the new LPO. But redirections only add a day or so in my experience, and since I lodged the redirect about 7 hours before it was even lodged with the post office in Sydney, and it was coming express post, I thought it might not have added any time at all. Naive ik
    
    I’m guessing they messed up the application of the redirection label and the machine is getting confused, but if it doesn’t get moving soon, I’m gonna need to redirect it again because I won’t even live here by the time it arrives!

    Profession opinion by Boyo. Redirection sticker is improperly placed and scanners are picking up the original first.

    That’s certainly what I suspect is happening. Though I don’t understand why it’s in Adelaide. Both postcodes start with a 3. My current working theory is that some robot noticed it going back and forth like a yoyo and poofed it off to Adelaide in the hopes that fixes it
