The well travelled parcel.

[Dazinoz]

I ordered something from the USA to be sent to Queensland, Australia.

 

The item was sent from Daytona Beach on the 18th May. It then travelled to Miami, onto New York, LA and then Sydney Australia. It departed Sydney on 29th May. After a few days I saw no tracking so did some checking no one knew where it was. Next thing tracking showed it had arrived in New York on the 10th June. I thought maybe going back to sender. Wrong. It then went to Phillipsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago, LA and then again arrived Sydney on the 28th June. Finally arrived at its destination today, 5th July.

 

Don't know what happened, but it certainly had a journey.

It stowed away in Sydney because it was enjoying flying.

Possibly. Australia Post said it was not entered into their system the first time. Sneaky bug her.

Back in the early 80's I sent a small package from Corsham in Wiltshire to Faulkland near Bath in darkest Somerset. About 13 miles as the crow flies.

 

A week later it hadn't arrived, oh well "lost in the post", it wasn't valuable.

 

Some months later I got a call saying it had arrived, with postmarks from Port Stanley in the Falkland Islands!

When the Brits have names such as Cholmondeley and Featherstonhaugh pronounced entirely differently to their spelling, nothing that happens there would be a surprise

Opposite story of days gone. 

In 1991, my ex wife posted an ems letter from the post office in bangkapi at 3:30 in the afternoon and it arrived at my door in Sweden 17 hours later. Including time difference = 17 actual hours of travel time. Unbelievable
