Postal efficiency? Perhaps a USPS employee can 'splain this to me?

So it still hasn't shown up. Seller says he contacted USPS and they "messed up and sent it to the wrong place" and that now I should have it by Saturday.... hmmmmm......

Now it's just getting comical. Got an email from seller today asking me to please ship back what I was going to receive today since it's the wrong thing and they sent my package back to him. He was of course blaming everything on the USPS. I was wondering if he was wanting me to pay for postage back to him. So I just refused the shipment. Wonder if I'll ever get my scope mount.... I think I'm starting to realize why I almost never buy from ebay...

USPS doesn't edit tracking info for mis-routes / mishandling; the scans you see are rarely adjusted

The routing info on the number/package he gave me was updated. Meaning, FL to CA to GA to my home today and then 'refused'. Who knows what really happend at this point.
What a fiasco. No smell of burning gun powder for me this weekend.
