Looks like the dates are in European format (DD/MM) instead of US format (MM/DD). Are you reading this thinking it won't arrive until October 8th - which is a Saturday, not a Wednesday.

Pretty sure October is month 10. :) Perhaps September.

I worked for USPS for 28 years. I believe the oldest thing I ever saw go through the South Bend, Indiana Office was sometime in 1937. Happens every time they move/update/close an office.

The arrival date shows 10/08 which in the US is October 8th. Europe format (or perhaps rest of world) is August 10th.

I don't get it. UPS had the package for two days. What's wrong with that? It was picked up at 5:10pm on the 8th and delivered by end of day on the 10th.

Are we missing something, or is the OP missing something?

I messed looking at the first digit, expecting the second to be the day and thought they had gone back in time - but then the title didn't make sense.

August 10, 2016 is a Wednesday, which is what's stated on the "Scheduled Delivery".

October 10, 2016, which is what the date appears to be, is a Monday...

October 10 is written as 10/10 in either format. The document says 10/08, meaning August 10.

Any way you slice it, it's a pointless post. It's not funny, irrelevant and no one gets the point. Why even bother. See ya.
