I ordered bacon hangers from an outfit in Buffalo, NY several years ago. Figured a week transit to be safe, and commenced curing some bacon in anticipation of receiving them in timely fashion. Nope.
They left Buffalo and made it to Indianapolis promptly, then UPS hiccuped and they were routed initially to the south before circumnavigating the western half of the US. Tracking entries included New Orleans, Phoenix, San Bernardino and someplace in Oregon before it turned Eastward and made a beeline for Chicago. 11 days later I received them in eastern MO.
Post office does this a lot around Christmas too. The airline industry plays this game with luggage: Piss off a desk clerk, and your luggage goes to Bogotá while you're headed to Europe.
I bet that bacon was dope AF though.
I want to know if this was mispick, or maybe labeling issue. Perhaps it was intentional. I checked this morning and it said it was in Oklahoma. It also removed the mention of CA. So idk if it even was even ever sent there, but I have the screen shot on my phone.
I just went and checked and now it says the package is in Highland IL. No mention of OK or CA. Quite the journey!
My bacon hangers will start sending your monitor vacation photos. Please let it reciprocate! Bonus points earned if it goes international...
