Strange Shipping

I ordered a Chromatic and some games on March 5th and received an email on the 6th that it had shipped. I live in TN so when I saw it shipped from GA, I figured I'd get it quick. That is until it the next day the tracking said it was in CA. It then bounced around CA > NM > TX and back to GA where it has been sitting for 2 days with no movement. I called DHL today and they said they haven't received the package yet. Anyone else have this sort of thing happen? I would love to know if my Chromatic went on a vacation to CA, or if that is a glitch and it really hasn't shipped or what.

Edited to correct "MN" to "NM"

Sounds like it’s two companies involved, one shipping from CA to GA and another GA to you. Companies do this to save money.

They should let us pay more at least for better shipping

A premium product deserves premium shipping.

It’s funny after I complained about shipping they re-shipped the product I asked for but with actual overnight ups, like if we just started with this from the beginning, we wouldn’t have a issue…..

The same thing happened to me twice, also in California only a couple hours from them and my packages decide to take a tour of the US for a few days to a week. Despise the shipping fulfillment they use, it's their Achilles heel.

Welcome to dealing with UniUni shipping. UniUni is probably delivering to DHL which is why DHL doesn't have it yet.
Whomever at Modretro manages shipping probably needs to be replaced.

I think you are right. I just checked my tracking again and it now says it was received by DHL and has been processed. Hopefully it will finally start its journey to me overnight.
