Ordered something from Amazon and this is the tracking history shown. Apparently USPS has mastered time travel or figured out how to clone packages. For those not familiar with this area, West Columbia borders Columbia (next city over). Not the worst tracking wtf I've seen, but amusing nonetheless:
February 21, 2015, 8:46 am, West Columbia SC US Out for delivery February 21, 2015, 6:04 am, West Columbia SC US Package arrived at a carrier facility February 20, 2015, 11:32 pm, Concord NC US Package has left the carrier facility February 20, 2015, 1:02 am, West Columbia SC US Package has left the carrier facility February 19, 2015, 1:09 pm, West Columbia SC US Package arrived at a carrier facility February 20, 2015, 1:02 am, Columbia SC US Package has left seller facility and is in transit to carrier TL;DR: Ordered package, package started in my local area and went to another state and came back. Package was also in two places at the same time. Package traveled hundreds of miles when it only needed to travel 5 or so miles. |

They are terrible. Tracking is terrible, too.
I had a couple holsters that were supposed to be here Tuesday, (Shipped Priority 2-day) and they still aren't here. Went from Idaho, to Washington, to Maine. Theoretically they will be here today...but I'm not holding my breath. |
I bought some sights from Skinner Sights a couple years ago, they're in Montana I believe. Package left Montana, ended up in Los Angeles a couple days later. I'm in Pa, so it's already gone about 800 miles in the wrong direction. Well, over the course of the next 4 or 5 days, it would leave LA early in the morning only to be scanned again in LA later that afternoon. Somehow, my package was on a truck leaving LA but would end up back in LA by the end of day. Took almost 2 weeks to get my sights...yay USPS

I think they stopped along the way to get gas and everywhere they did got an update.  I'm pretty sure I could have driven to California and back in less time.

| IIRC, part of the tax deal that came with Amazon coming to SC was that they couldn't deliver a package in state....might explain that. Maybe I am wrong though. I have had similar things happened. Would have just been easier for me to drive 20 minutes and pick it up at the warehouse. |
