Weirdest shipping experience I've had was a DHL package to a relative in Khabarovsk, Russia (far east Russia, north-west tip of China). Package was shipped USA to Germany to Moscow where it was turned around, shipped back to USA where it puttered around for a couple days before finally heading east to Khabarovsk via Japan. Apparently couldn't get to Khabarovsk from Moscow.
- nogridbag 11y agoA developer friend of mine from Ukraine sent me some snail mail (I'm in NY) and it took somewhere around 8 months to arrive. I wasn't home when it was delivered and they left a note on my door to pick it up at the post office (I thought it was a mistake as I wasn't expecting anything). Anyway, I was in the middle of moving and misplaced the note and forgot about it for some time. When I went to the post office I was informed that it was mailed back to the sender since I did not pick it up in time. It has been a few years and my friend never received the returned package.
