Dang...at some point your sense of humor will wear thin. But maybe to your point, The tracking is a poetic method of pointing out to the shipper their wasted efforts/$$$. Will they HEAR YOU... ....hopefully.

For what ever reason anything coming to me (30 miles N of Orlando) spends about 3 or 4 days shuttling around the Orl area (arrived/departed minutes apart) before making it ALL the way up here. Maybe they are waiting to make up a load worth hauling.
And like the OP I have had stuff make it to Tampa (75 miles) and be sent back to New Jersey, then Jax, then Orl ... sometimes I think they don't have time(or want to) sort stuff, so it gets tossed on the next truck leaving.
I bought a hat from Garage 54 (utube) , coming from Russia, it will be interesting to see how long that takes, if it shows up at all.
It takes gasoline to interest me.

It's called the "hub" concept...very few things go direct between points, kinda like the airlines. Fly from the west coast to NY with a stop in Atlanta.

That's an extreme case for sure, but nothing new.
If I drop a letter in the mailbox, addressed to someone who lives a block away, it's still going to go to the local distribution center first, then be put on a route for delivery.
You may live a mile away from the plant where your car was built, but they ain't going to drive it directly to your house...

Everything for the midwest around Chicago goes through the Carol Stream, IL hub no matter what state surrounding Illinoise that it is mailed from...
