reminds me of a package of mine a year ago that did couple coast to coast tours before finally getting to me.... at one point it was literally only hundred mile from me but it then flew to the opposite site of the continent...

From Taiwan to Western Canada through Alaska, through Tennessee? FedEx works in mysterious ways.
Apparently it does save delivery companies some money, but IDK how it does that.
Sometimes aftership also displays wrong things. Like for example Western Australia instead Washington
Fedex has a hub for shipments from Asia in Anchorage. They then typically go to their main sorting facility in Memphis regardless of where the destination is in North America.
If you ordered a FW laptop to Anchorage it wouldn't shock me if it went from Taiwain to Anchorage to Memphis to Anchorage.
Logistics are weird in a way where it may be cheaper/easier to send everything to a central location for sorting than it is to try and sort it locally.
But it didn’t actually do that, it went from TW to anchorage to Memphis. That’s it. It only listed the customs thing based on final destination but it’s not where the package was located. I think the Winnipeg thing just gets listed for all Canadian customs imports.
FYI my tracking is taking the same route.. I also have a customs exception.
I have a love hate relatinship with pack tracking. It can be never racking when lets say you order a new phone and it 'leaves' a location before it arrives then spends a week doing nothing after clearing customs. Then in 6 hours it goes from arrived in Korea to out for delivery in the central us.
The important part... what did you order?
That's way worse than mine just sitting in Winnipeg being delayed at customs, I hope it doesn't take much longer to clear.
Yeah, mine is now at customs in Winnipeg as well. How has yours been there?
Just since yesterday, so not that long even though it feels like forever lol.
My first framework did that too. Made it from some FedEx distribution hub in the NJ to San Jose, Ca. Went back to NJ. Then to Seattle. Then Stockton CA. Then here (Berkeley, CA).
FedEx works in mysterious ways.
My Framework is doing the same path as you. It literally just went back to Winnipeg once again after going to Memphis
I hate when this happens lol. It’ll make its way back to you eventually.
In the same boat.. wish they just looked at one of them and realize they're fine and put em all through!
Mine did a similar thing lol
Mine got held for customs. Am not sure who has the shorter end of the stick.
Clearance delay - Import Winnipeg, MB is just a bull shit entry imo. Maybe customs clearance paperwork has been forwarded to CBS for expected clearance of a parcel once it actually arrives in Wpg. Mine showed the same, but has now been delayed clearing customs, ssoooo Fedex is saying. Our shipments are FedEx® FedEx International Priority DirectDistribution which has a guaranteed delivery service of 1-3 business days if I'm not mistaken. Fedex says "We offer a Money-Back Guarantee for the FedEx International Premium Service. Requests for refund or credit of transportation charges due to a service failure must be submitted via telephone to 1.866.SHIP.IXF (1-866-744-7493)"." I'm now on day 7 and chomping at the bit to get it!
I'm on day 7 as well, but it looks like it should be delivered today.
