Hello.
I ordered three 1911 magazines from brownells shipped via USPS.

Tracking shows that my package was shipped on July 1st, and returned to sender in Chicago on July 3rd for no reason.
USPS customer service is useless at this time.
From what I understand, brownells has an int'l export license and does not need to get a permit for firearm parts orders under $100 USD.
I doubt this is a mistake on Brownells part, so the only reason I can think of is some USPS employee wanted to go home early on July 3rd and just screwed up my package?

Has anyone experienced something like this before?
 
Just hold fire - it was July 4th on Thursday.....your stuff'll be along directly, I'm pretty sure. Nothing goes aywhere on the 4th, or on the 5th if the 4th is a Thursday.:)
 
I had the happen with a 400USD order where all permits were in order....it made it to Ontario went out for delivery and went back as it was undeliverable....BS...I was pissed to say least

It happened to me once, the civic number was not visible on the package (don't remember why) so it came to the local CanPost warehouse using the postal code info and then Canada Post sent it back since they could not deliver it without a complete address... and it's apparently not their job to use Canada411 to find the missing digits even if they had my name and postal code on the label :puke:
 
Give it a couple of weeks from dispatch to start off with, the USPS tracking could be most kindly described as "whimsical" in my experience.
 
Thank you. USPS just updated tracking info. My package went back to a USPS sort facility.

Weird.

For what it's worth, I ordered around the same time as you and it arrived today. The tracking number disappeared from the Canada Post site yesterday, but still works on USPS.
