FedEx - strange shipping progress (to UK)

I recently purchased from Vinshine in Singapore, for shipping to the UK. (Vinshine's service was flawless by the way).

Vinshine used FedEx for the shipping; started off fine albeit via a curious route:

Singapore to China

China to Japan

Japan to Hong Kong

Hong Kong to Belgium 

Belgium to France

France to Dartford, England

My item shipped on Monday 8th and reached Dartford, England on Friday 12th - not bad considering the strange route 😂

My delivery was noted as Friday 12th, but I knew that wouldn't be happening; Dartford is around 270 miles from my nearest FedEx depot in Liverpool, but no bother I'm not precious about it. 

As I suspected, my delivery was pushed back to yesterday, 15th; no bother, but then I see my item had made it's way back to Charles de Gaul airport in France again 😄 what gives!?

Yesterday, my item had made its way back to England again, with delivery scheduled for Wednesday, tomorrow. I then received notification this morning,that my item is in Liverpool and is being delivered today (on the delivery van - hooray! 😄)

I don't have much experience of FedEx, but is this normal?

I'm not precious about all of this, I just found it all rather funny, not to mention a little strange. Do others have odd experiences with FedEx,?
