I bought an item on ebay and it was sent from USPS. It travelled around the US for a bit, which is expected, but then flew from Chicago to Poland. According to USPS tracking, it went from Poland to London last night but then back to Poland this morning. Does this happen a lot?
The tracking number is LZ359396050US.

Why is my parcel in Poland?
What's the contents of it? Poland sent it to the UK as it's not for Poland. I'm wondering of UK customs might have looked at it and refused it entry to the UK and so sent it back to Poland as that's were it last came from

No. According to the tracking, it has been to Poland twice and is now in London for the second time. But look at the dates & times on the tracking:Macbook82 wrote:Does this happen a lot?

According to that, the parcel made three flights between London & Poland in under 14 hours. You might be able to do that, but you sort yourself through the system. It is improbable that a parcel would get sorted quickly enough at every stage to achieve that feat. I would suggest that one of the scanners had the wrong date / time setting, making the tracking data appear in a different order to the way it actually happened.
Your parcel would now appear to be in UK customs. I wouldn't expect any further updates until the parcel has cleared customs.
