Parcel from the US to Aust

[jasminecat2012]

Does anyone know why a parcel from Miami FL would go to Denmark first on it's way to australia. It was sent USPS first class.

[davewil1964]

No. But I would hazard a guess that'operator error' played a big part.

Do you have it?

If you do, what is the issue? If not, as you obviously have tracking on it, where is it currently?

Denmark?!

Has it gone sightseeing on the way? I've got a parcel that's been sitting in Hawaii for a few days.

[jasminecat2012]

No i don't have it, it's in denmark. I have asked seller just waiting for a reply.

[jasminecat2012]

Perhaps its going to Austria?

Are you sure it is Denmark the country or might it be Denmark in South Carolina.

Not every state has facilities for internatiional freight...it might be on its way to somewhere that can dispatch it to Australia.

This is all it says.

[lyndal1838]

The item is being sent from the USA by USPS with tracking on the US site....I think it is reasonble to assume that it is still in the USA not on some international sight seeing tour.

[jasminecat2012]

It does look like it has left the US. If denmark was in the US it would have the state after it. It's also been 2 day from departing miami to demark.

Odd detours happen with my parcels every now and then - I've had quite a few sent from the US that went to New Zealand before arriving in Oz, and one that went to Spain. 

But in saying that, it's plausible that the address was misread (or labeled) as Austria, as Denmark is on the coastline and only around 1400 k's from there, plus it wouldn't be the first time.

I'd make a quick enquiry with the seller to see if they're able to confirm some details, or chase up the parcel location.
