Ah, the magic of the postal system...
One likely explanation is if that parcel was sent "Parcel Select". That is a non-pre-sort method and it can go all the way across the country to a sorting facility.
Then it goes all the way back in the other direction, to its destination.
I deal with USPS stuff daily, and overall they do an excellent job. But when there is a problem, all you can do is bend over...
