Pack delivered to wrong address?

Wondering if anyone has experience with this. I ordered a pack last Friday from a well-known and trusted vendor. Last night I asked for tracking because priority should have only taken until Thursday at the latest. When I checked tracking this morning, the pack said it ha been delivered over 1500 miles away from me.

Anyone have any ideas what could be going on? Currently waiting on a response from the vendor about whether I was sent incorrect tracking, but is there any way this could be a USPS screw-up and I'm out of luck?

edit: It was a case of incorrect tracking. Unfortunately my pack is stuck at a distribution center an hour away from me and hasn't moved since last Friday. Hopefully it'll come through, thanks for the input.

It's possible the vendor sent your order to the wrong address. It's possible the vendor accidentally gave you the wrong tracking number. It's possible that USPS screwed-up, as you said. It's possible the vendor intentionally gave you the wrong tracking number in an attempt to jip you and ensure support sides with him.

There's no way for us to really know.

Could be a few things.

Best case - it's another customers tracking number

Bad - he used a shipping/label platform that auto fills addrresses and it got sent to a similar street/city (or same city name but in different state)

Worst - it got RTS'ed

Is the city it got delivered to anywhere near where it was shipped from (first 2 digits of zipcode)? This would indicate an RTS.

Is the city it was delivered to anywhere close in spelling to where it was supposed to go?

IDK how, but I have the stupidest mail carriers in the country. Completely unreliable. It’s a shame.

Worked at a record store years ago. We got a UPS shipment of stock and discovered we had an extra box for some reason. Opened that box, 5lb. brick of weed. Had to turn it over to the cops. Somebody was going to be very disappointed.
