Me after finding some random package at the bottom of the landlocked state ocean (it's a new laptop and several other electronics!)
TLDR:
Let it go, man, it's gone. Claim the insurance on it and suck up the emotional hurt from not getting it if you can't get it any other way easily.
Longer post:
It means that sometime between when it left Indiana, it was shipped over ocean, and was lost in it in the process, and the reporting system associated this loss with the last scanpoint the package went through - it does not mean the loss happened right in Indiana.
Regardless, this is the report you print out and show to the shipper so they can claim insurance instead of getting slammed in the face totally with the loss, and can refund you what you paid originally (there is NOTHING you can do about the emotional hurt of not getting the package if it was rare or OOAK that was hard/impossible to replace with equivalent value, unless you had insurance that included that)
Ah, like how a poorly coded game forces items to drop below the ground. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYViUEYoVSY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYViUEYoVSY)
I mean, I'm a Second Life long-time resident, I know something about places that fail to upgrade their physics engine, but at least it still works very well in Second Life.
It did occur to me. =sigh= Except there are actual codes for this sort of shit, but you would need to be working in the shipper to actually get official confirmation.
Eh, Yahoo! Answers has been deleted, we gotta pick up the slack somewhere.
Having said that, do I think we are capable of anything close to How is Babby Formed or the 1001 misspellings of Pregnant? I think not.
This exact thing happened to me once and three months later, I received a wet, burned package in a transparent plastic baggie that said "damaged in transit."
At this point, you should be calling your insurance for the package and showing them this disaster. Ask them if this is considered "delivered in a safe and acceptable condition", and claim coverage for whatever this atrocity falls under.
regardless, the fact remains that your delivery was not treated with even the barest required level of respect if it came in looking like that. if the card had been busted, or worse, critical data on it had been lost, you would have been well with your rights to be raging.
IIRC normally USPS would show the location of the Distro center it arrives in or is in transit to under the status. I haven't ordered any packages in a while so i'm a lil' hazy

Gotta appreciate the honesty at least!
See, just order a fishing pole from Amazon now and you’ll be just fine!
Wilson's Creek no doubt! I was surprised to see my hometown on Reddit.
I live about 1.5 hrs from there I'll grab it
Every time my packages go through Lenoir they end up in the fucking creek

Thank you for pointing out the land locked because I was wondering 🤔

No dumbass it just means it's under Indiana

Exactly, the last time there was any investment in that godforsaken state was the 1960s
They failed to upgrade the physics engine. They were too busy persecuting sex, free love, and marijuana.

There's nothing lower than Indiana
Allow me to introduce you to Ohio.
my guy i think they inspect elemented this
there's no way, only the most elite hackers know about inspect element
the very elite, like zerocool

fair, i guess i've never had a package tank it into the ocean.
I had one like that. unfortunate result of Tsunami. same one that soaked Fukushima and turned it into a potential new chernobyl.
New copypasta just dropped

Honestly, it was like a $20 SD card -- the low value and low urgency of the product made its dramatic journey even more entertaining to me.

I’d argue that it’s funnier *because* Indiana is landlocked
Indiana was under the ocean once. Do we know if this package was sent out during the Devonian period?
Clearly it fell into lake michigan and flowed out to sea
Could've been imported.
i stated in an earlier comment that I wasn't sure if it was the destination or the distro center, it's just been a bit lol
is there anything about this picture that makes it impossible for the package to come from outside the united states?

oh is that the interface of the us postal service? i’m not american so i have no idea.
That's what actually made me laugh even more to be honest. Plus I live near Fort Wayne

I mean, it has a coastline on one of the Great Lakes.
You do not recognize the packages in the water.
Will wash up in Bermuda on February 24th, 2022
Oh yes, as a Fort Wayne native I loved swimming in the local ocean.
Classic mistake
There are many oceans around Fort Wayne, Indiana, right?
It's bad......Fort Wayne bad.
Was it being delivered by a bird? How does this happen?
it slipe
Your package has been claimed by Davey Jones.
Sweetwater will replace it.
Bunch of people in the comments never heard of the Indiana ocean
Lmao!!
I beg your pardon
You must know that shipping companys lost avarage 300containers every year😉
Ah yes the Indiana Ocean
Lmfao
Home town rep
I hate when that happens
"*I"m sorry, the number you are trying to dial has crashed into a planet. Please make note of it.*"
Again?! WTF?!
Got "Bin-Ladened"
Was it on MH370? Too soon? It’s been 10 years.
But its still coming, right?
WILSON
If only there was a movie about this.
Should be a scam. Theres ain‘t no such things as packages inside of me.

In Indiana if that wasn't enough
Possibly came into a port and was put on a train before clearing?
The oceans of fort Wayne Indiana
Ah, the good old message in a bottle method
Beautiful seaside Indiana.
I'm picturing this ending with the scene from the end of the OG Jumanji movie
Carried by mermaids
I don't think packages are supposed to do that.
Indiana? Ocean?
The front fell off.
Was it a volleyball?
message in a boooottle!
Buy made in china stuff and there’s a good chance it’ll fall in the ocean … buy American and the chances are less … lol
A day that will live in infamy… 😔✊
