There’s something extremely weird with Fedex’s tracking system… I ordered a new iPod Touch (2nd Gen) from Apple Canada and I paid the extra 13$ for expedited shipping (2 business days)… Here’s the tracking info so far:

So, basically, it started its journey from Kunshan, China… headed to Anchorage, Alaska, USA… only to go back to Shanghai, China… Then it made a small stop in Newark, New Jersey, to finally end up in Mississauga, Ontario (finally! It’s in Canada)… but no… it went back to the United States, in Memphis, Tennesse…Apparently Fedex decided to give my iPod a free round-the-world trip… What the hell is that? I wasn’t aware that the shortest route from Point A to Point B was to stop by Point X, T, Z and C…then go back to point T and then to point Z and… well.. you get the idea…

yeah, similar to my order. it left Memphis on Feb 21, got stuck in Calgary the same day, then went back to Memphis on Feb 22! WTF?!?!? did you get your iPod?
Dude,
FedEx is updating based on the local time of the place. Since it is travelling from China to you place through different intermeidate distribution centers with different local times, you are seeing this!
I hope you entered that blog just to attract comments. :-)

well, thanks for posting, it’s really something for me.
Same thing happened to me. Only with UPS; and I live in Anchorage, Alaska. My iPad landed here from China… then flew out to Tennessee! When the hell is it coming back to AK? )-’:
