its certainly possible, but I’m thinking not likely - would likely have had to miss at least a couple of scans from Fedex on the way out. I’m certainly no expert on shipping logics, nor do I know how this was supposed to be routed (I’ve seen packages through FedEx/USPS go to YVR first, then East, and others that seem to go via points in the Midwest), but either way, it should have been scanned out from Tracy first, and then in transit somewhere else. It’s been a while since I sent cross border, but I seem to recall Fedex usually scanning on arrival to customs facility - though maybe it could be stuck waiting for this scan?
