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,?

The best for international delivery is DHL. I ordered a streamer from South Korea. From the time it was picked up in SK, to the time it was on my doorstep in the middle of the states was 37 hours! I was blown away!

@riie if you're referring to the football, you're absolutely spot on 😄. I went to the pub to watch the Atalanta game last week; we (Liverpool FC) haven't played that badly since Roy Hodgson's time in charge. 

The end of the season can't come quick enough 🥴

Also my friend had the same experience ,  FedEx has strange routs and looks like that is normal for them.
