I made a deal with a guy who lives in New York and i live in New York. I sent him my package he got it the day after i sent it. He sent me a package and it went to my main postal office. now it is in minnesota. look here:

Posting this is meaningless without the location field of your profile filled out.

He lives in Rochester.

Bulk shipping is cheaper. I got shipped to a distro hub, and will be sent back packed with a bunch of stuff going to ny. That's just how it works. It's way more efficient than straight line paths.

Although, it could be a legitimate mistake on their end (assuming the address was filled correctly). It's rare, but it happened to me once with a package I was expecting. They'll figure it out though and re-direct it back to your city. They won't just leave it at some random dude's house if that's what you're worried about.

Had a USPS package come from Kansas once. Went to Utah, then to Tennessee, then to my front door. No explanation.

A friend told me about a guy who ordered something from the NCIX US site- he lived in Canada. His package went down into the states, circulated for a while, then took a side trip to Europe before coming in the other side of the country and ending up delivered to him. Then again, it was UPS, and they do things like that.
