I had a book shipped from Kentucky and it hit all other surrounding states before arriving in Illinois. Yes, it was USPS.

In the route offered at the top of this thread, the package did get to "see" a bit more in the way of scenic vistas along its journey.    ;c)

I suppose, I would also rather stop in Billings, MT than Chicago 😂

Still strange that they shipped from the same post office to the same location only a couple weeks apart…

Wonder if there is some numerical similarity between Billings zipcode and your own, so that a postal worker, or machine scan, could make that mistake based on some near likeness?!?!?
