This is not a complaint. I think it’s totally crazy. At this point, I’m just glad I’m not paying postage per mile the package travels.
It’s a package from 123 Stitch. I ordered floss that I need for several projects I plan to start in the next few months. Before Christmas, I made a list of projects I may start and ordered the floss so I can get that behind me.
The entire travel path is not included in the photo.
The package left Lewisville, TX (where 123 Stitch is located) on December 31 and arrived in Coppell, TX the same day. That’s normal. From there, it went to Wichita, KS and arrived there on January 3. That’s not a normal stop for my packages but . . it was the holidays so I can cut it some slack. Then it arrived in Kansas City on January 3. Yay! Depending on what time it left KC, it might arrive on January 4. Normally, it would leave KC and go to Springfield, MO, then to my local post office.
Nope . . it went to Mobile, AL; then it went to Montgomery, AL; then it went to Birmingham, AL. That took several days. Then it went to St. Louis, MO. At least it’s in Missouri! Sat there for a few days. Now, according to USPS tracking, it’s in Springfield, MO. Will it arrive in my town Monday? It could go back to Kansas City, then back to Springfield, then here. Who knows??
I will let you know when it arrives, hopefully in good shape. It has had quite a trip!

I hope it’s enjoying the vacation, just hope someone is keeping it warm and fed during its travels! ??? That’s just crazy!

All I can say is good luck in getting your packaging, as I have been having the same issues. Placed an order with Missouri Star Quilting in Hamilton MO. They sent it by FedEx and it went to Olathe KS where it sat for several days, eventually making it to the FedEx facility in Chino, CA about 35 miles from me. The package then sat there for several days and eventually moved to the USPS system where it went from facility to facility before being delivered to my post office box. This took well over 3 weeks from ordering to being delivered. This was all before the current weather in the Midwest.
