Fedex has a hub for shipments from Asia in Anchorage. They then typically go to their main sorting facility in Memphis regardless of where the destination is in North America.
If you ordered a FW laptop to Anchorage it wouldn’t shock me if it went from Taiwain to Anchorage to Memphis to Anchorage.
Logistics are weird in a way where it may be cheaper/easier to send everything to a central location for sorting than it is to try and sort it locally.
But it didn’t actually do that, it went from TW to anchorage to Memphis. That’s it. It only listed the customs thing based on final destination but it’s not where the package was located. I think the Winnipeg thing just gets listed for all Canadian customs imports.
From Taiwan to Western Canada through Alaska, through Tennessee? FedEx works in mysterious ways.
Sometimes aftership also displays wrong things. Like for example Western Australia instead Washington
Apparently it does save delivery companies some money, but IDK how it does that.
FYI my tracking is taking the same route… I also have a customs exception.
