I had one, but it pales in comparison.

I once had a certified letter take two months to get from Boston to LA. It literally disappeared for 6 weeks, then bounced back and forth half a dozen times between LA and Sacramento, then got delivered to the wrong address in LA where I literally had to arrange by phone for the addressee to pick it up after tracking down the recipient.

That's pretty amazing, even by recent standards. I purchased something on eBay on January 16th and am still waiting on it. Unfortunately no updates since it arrived in Los Angeles on Jan. 24, so I don't really know what it's been up to since then, but the "estimated delivery" dates from eBay are Feb. 2-Mar. 9, so we'll see what happens tomorrow.

My worst ones were shipping mistakes more often.
Once I had a seller really not thinking or reading the Paypal info very clearly. I live in the suburbs of Detroit, in Birmingham Michigan. The seller sent my purchase to Birmingham England. That one took one hell of a long time to arrive as it was sent there, returned to the seller, and then finally sent to me. It was 6-8 weeks or longer of travel time.

The tracking on a package I sent showed delivered to mailbox and then the next entry was "incomplete address, return to sender." I emailed the recipient and they said that they had received the package. I guess I should stop waiting for it to come back. Go figure.
