Ordered some knitting needles from Reno, Nevada to be delivered near Ft Worth, Texas.
They got to visit Anchorage, Alaska, and I didn't!

Robert Jerl said "as far as I know Antarctica has no postal facilities."
Actually, there is a postal station in Antarctica, (maybe at MacMurdo Sound?) from which tourists can mail post cards, et cetera with a very interesting postmark.

OK, I looked it up the "Penguin Post Office" at Port Lockroy, part of the UK Postal Service, operates Nov to March with aprx 18000 cruise ship tourists each season and 70-80,000 postcards to an average of 100 countries each season. No automated equipment, processed by hand (4 people work in it those 5 months and they take care of the museum, gift shop and a bunch of other stuff like keeping the poop of over 2000 penguins cleaned off the paths etc.) It is a 2 week trip one way to get there and come home.

Such "scenic trips" are usually the result of the parcel getting a barcode other than the correct one for the destination -- or the barcode is damaged and is being misread. When the package arrives at an incorrect destination, the correct response is to check the address on the piece and correct the destination barcode, but it is just easier to toss it back in the mailstream and assume the information will be read correctly by the next scanner. In a worst case scenario the package will continue its "scenic tour" until a human takes the time to intervene.

It is a small world.
One of the more well known members of a Face Book birder group I belong to just got back from a trip to Vancouver, WA and posted pictures he took of birds in our "Backyard Birds of the Inland Empire" site.
