My camera was to be delivered today 1/10 and it was last reported 1/8 in Baltimore, where I live, I just checked and some dummy sent it to Rio.

The dummy was probably a computerized scanner.
To err is human, but if you really want to mess something up, use a computer!

Hey, now when you get together with other knitters you can stick your nose in the air and proclaim: "I only use needles imported from Alaska!"

Wow! There’s a “Rio” in WV! Who knew?!?!
So when my wife says we should take a trip to Rio, think I can get away with this?

Sometimes their delivery system is pretty hard to figure out....I have had things sent that when following the tracking of it, I have watched it go from point A, to point B, and then back to point A again.

I sold a lens and sent it to Canada. It was so slow I had a tracker placed on it. It went (in this order)to new york, Canada, New York, Beirut, New York, Canada, Dubai and finally was delivered in Canada with no explanation. It had traveled the world. It arrived in perfect condition, just as I sent it. Go figure!!
