Check out the tracking on this one...

Green circle is where it started... “B” is where it is now... and checkered flag is where it needs to go... Something tells me there may have been a faster route...

Looks like it's at the Fedex hub in Indianapolis. The hub system that most carriers use can make for some strange travels for a package.

I selected UPS shipping as it was the cheapest, and they shipped it USPS  :D

Bruce I reckon that the US Govt should just enforce a ban on all steam engines (and accessories) to that whole area  ;D
On the news it shows up as a problem area  :D  :D

Last fall I ordered a patio set online, chairs arrived in a few days, table was missing, tracking showed it on the way to North Carolina from California to Vancouver, B.C. It went from North Carolina to Toronto, and then across Canada finally arriving in Vancouver weeks later. Couldn't have gone a much longer route without crossing an ocean.
