Return to Sender ..... I wish

Have you ever ordered something on-line and it either takes FOREVER to arrive IF it arrives at all?

This week we had a parcel delivered that was clearly not ours.
The only similarity was that it was the same Street and Number.

I wrote on the envelope that it needed to be sent to SOUTH AUSTRALIA and put it back in the Mail.


This was a litany of errors starting with the sender not placing a Return Address AND leaving BOTH tracking labels on the Parcel.  
There was no way I could contact them.  I had the tracking numbers so I could see what was happening - just hope the recipient did too.

This parcel ended up in a loop of arriving at my place - going back to the mail sorting only to come back to me.


I tried to return it via the mail box and 2 Post Offices. On the 3rd visit, they took one look at me and the parcel, mumbled something about once the stamps are cancelled it can't be on-forwarded and decided to put it into a new envelope and try again.

I presume it arrived safely.  
Or it is bouncing around every other State in the Country that has the same Street Name as Ours.  

I will never know.
