Similar thing happened to me a couple of years ago with a 3D printer. Tracking showed it cross the country, get within 50 miles of my house, and then suddenly took off several states away. At that point tracking stopped updating. After waiting a while for Amazon to get past their "just wait to see if it shows up" threshold, they shipped me a another printer, which arrived without trouble. Two months later the original printer randomly showed up one day. I contacted support but they couldn't understand what I was talking about. After wasting a bunch of my time and their time, it seemed pointless. I didn't really need a second 3D printer but it seemed like it was going to cost both me and Amazon more time than it was worth to straighten out their mistake so I dropped the matter.

This reminds me of a similar tracking behavior I saw last year. It was both frustrating and hilarious. Item shipped via FedEx from TX to CA. I think the ETA was 5 days. Day 1: Left TX Day 2: In transit in NM Day 3: Arrived in Tracy,CA Day 11: Left Tracy and arrived in destination city Day 14: Left destination city Day 15: In transit in southern OR Day 18: In transit in northern OR It hasn't been seen since. When I contacted FedEx, their investigation showed that the truck it was on was currently sitting empty in WY. No explanation for why it sat so long in Tracy, why it left the destination, or where it ended up. So the seller shipped a replacement. Day 1: Left TX Day 2: In transit in TX Day 6: Arrived in Tracy Day 7: Left Tracy Day 11: Left Tracy, again Day 12: Left Tracy, yet again Day 13: Arrived in destination city Day 15: Delivered
