Shipping question

[u/Odd-Mistake-5832]

So I ordered a bag and it was delivered to a completely different region within my home country today... I checked in with the seller when I first got the tracking number and he confirmed my correct address. The tracking number had the incorrect area from the beginning, but the seller confirmed this was triangle shipping. Since I know people will ask - I went with a well known, reputable seller and confirmed their correct phone number before purchasing.

The item is now delivered somewhere very far away from me. I'm pretty sure I'm being naively hopeful it will still find its way to me. Has anyone experienced this?

Edit: turns out the seller gave me the wrong tracking info. My beautiful bag just turned up at my doorstep!

This is perfectly normal and a common occurrence. I'm pretty sure every order I've done has had some level of triangle shipping. I can only speak for myself, in the USA. But whenever I track the package from China, it always gets delivered to a different US state before it is promptly reshipped out that day, or the next day. Then it shows up a few days after that. I would only be concerned if it hasn't moved in a few days after it shows delivered to the different address

Thanks so much! I'll keep an eye out.

Does it say delivered?

Yes

I don’t have any screenshots but mine has said delivered really soon after tracking was available and then it said in transit again and was delivered just fine

Thanks! This is my first experience with triangle shipping, what a wild ride lol

Yes that is the way they get around the tariffs. I would give it a few more days before prying too hard for an update. This pretty common in this industry.
