USPS question: pack bouncing around from sort facility to sort facility

i'm sure someone else has seen this:

a priority package i'm expecting, keeps going through a couple sort facilities over and over again since sunday. it's like running a cross country course (except these sort facilities are only a few hours from me).

any idea why this happens? the label got fucked some where along the line? i'm using a new drop and i've had no problem with the past few that have come.

i suppose the correct action is to just "sit tight". nothing really illegal, but they might keep it if they open it.

Mine has said processed through Sort facility since 7/02/15. Starting to get so irritated. Don't know why the fuck it's happening but it does suck.

No one is going to open your package. That would require a warrant.

If you Google this you will find untold numbers of people that experience this issue, usually on eBay and Amazon forums. People will get packages going between facilities for days and even weeks. It's generally accepted that if a package is intercepted they will keep the tracking looking normal so you don't suspect anything is wrong and you won't have time to prepare.

USPS is a government organization. Governments are inefficient.
