Some of these are hard to figure out - you would think someone in the process would recognize what is going on and put a fix to it. I have one package ordered May 1 this year and it still has not arrived. It is coming from China and not worth getting upset over but that is my last China order.

It seems to be traveling back and forth. Puzzling, but not unheard of.

I ordered a Mother's day gift that was shipped from Columbus, Ohio to the wrong city in Kentucky, back to Columbus, Ohio and then delivered to the exact street address ... and signed for ... in Columbus.

After complaining, the order was repeated ... and the exact sequence happened again.

On the third attempt it went correctly.

I have had this happen a few times recently. What I love is when Amazon says shipped then it shows as at Canada Posts main sorting facility in Mississauga and immediately goes to delayed due to external conditions and I get a note from Amazon that the delivery date may be missed. There it will sit for days or weeks. Same for Amazon shipments through Purolator, they say shipped and then it shows as at Purolator for weeks or more. The number of times this is happening makes me think its just passing the delay blame off to another entity when its really Amazon that is holding things up. I have also had amazon orders travel around the continental USA before arriving in Canada when I didnt even know the product was coming from the USA.

I got a similar UPS tracking a couple weeks ago and when I finally received the item they had rewritten the whole sequence and omitted the screw ups.

It must be a regional thing. I order from Amazon quite often and I never have delivery issues here in southeast Pennsylvania.

I sold a lens to a friend in Canada, shipped USPS. It went everywhere and spent some time in Beirut. It did finally arrive and in great condition. That lens travelled more than I have.

Ah, technology! I have had similar things happen. Tracking shows the packing still en route, and it arrives at my door. The absolute worst it when tracking shows that it was delivered, but I haven't received it. Tracking is great when it works, but it doesn't always work.

Amazon deliveries have gotten very slow - like two weeks or more for Prime.

I just checked tracking on an Amazon order. It's going to be delivered yesterday.

I have not been as careful as I should have been in confirming from where and order is shipped. I ordered some summer shirts early in May, the tracking has said they were picked up in San Francisco June 12. I thought it had taken a long time, but happy to know they were on the way. That was nearly a month ago. It's a bit late for summer shirts now. I think when the shipping/lead times are so long, they should let their customers know.

I've recently closed my Amazon account after sittuations like this.
I have been with them for several years and many spent £1000's.
Try their support service, rubbish, rubbish, rubbish over and over again.

Same here. I've been waiting for weeks for a couple of items. If I don't receive them in the next two weeks, I'm cancelling the orders and if they do not comply, I'll use my paypal guarantee.
