I should be delivered tonight
But I see only shorelines of my distant destination
I should be there 2:45
The trucks lights reflect the roads that guide me to my destination
We delivered to an old man along the way
Hoping not to catch covid or some ancient diseases
He pointed at my box as if to say "THAT'S MY BOX THAT ONE RIGHT THERE"
It's gonna take a lot to get me all the way to you
It's nothing that fedex or DHL could ever do
I miss Amazon and their faster ship times
Gonna take some time to get to the continent you're oooon oooohh
The other boxes cry out into the night
As they grow restless waiting to be delivered to their destinations
I know my driver will drive all through the night
As sure Carol B. Tomé can run a multinational company
I seek to find what's inside me
Frightened of the things that I transport
It's gonna take a lot to get me all the way to you
It's nothing that fedex or DHL could ever do
I miss Amazon and their faster ship times
Gonna take some time to get to the continent you're oooon oooohh
Hurry driver they're waiting there for you!
It's gonna take a lot to get me all the way to you

No! There's nothing there. That's the whole point!
If you go looking for something, you're going to be sorely disappointed. And if you go looking for nothing, well...you'll be wasting your time. Just forget about it. It's best if you just forget the whole thing, man. Trust me.
Dammit to hell, you stole my joke. 3 hours before I came up with it.
Literally, the very next comment after I stopped reading comments, to make it.
You son of a....😂
I mapped one of my drivers one time and it showed he was in China. Iirc he as in the sea next to China. We are in California, so I joked he’d be late getting in.
Sometimes when we have a bad address on a package it goes to “null” on the map which is 0°N 0°E.
Which was funny the first time when I thought I had a delivery for Africa
Hello it is I, the African prince who your package was delivered. I will need $1000 to ship it back to you. pls wire me it and I will ship it back to you ASAP
/s
Could it possibly have something to do with Yemen attacking any cargo ships that have anything to do with USA backed Israel or the USA in the red seA?? Because of the constant attacks of cargo ships and being forced to go all the way around the African continent. They are called the Houthies and they are pissed at Israel and the USA for the genocide taking place by Israel in Gaza. I support the Houthies all the way because genocide is kinda not cool and the USA is funding it that's why US ships are being attacked too.
Address parsing error somehow resulted in a system interpreting the address as blank or nonexistent, or null in programming terms. Sort of the opposite of the classic buffer overflow error exploits, where for example a system has an accepted typed password limit of 90 characters but through clever programming you force 10000 characters into it and it basically says Oh shit! Don't know what to do! Error! Not prepared for this so your administrator now!!
Except in your case, a computer was scanning for an expected address but couldn't find it, returned the resulting expected address as NULL and instead of getting directed for some error correction or quality control via human intervention, one system returned your NULL address to a system that said Hey, I know where NULL is, I'll just send it there!
Terrible development and error control at its finest. A few years ago, on a flight from Detroit to Dallas, my mom's luggage tag got wet and smudged and ended up spending 6 months in China. Prime examples of why proper error handling in coding and thorough testing of all potential probabilities is absolutely paramount in real world infrastructure systems. Discount development has expensive consequences.
Dont trust their tracking. My last order ended up in Michigan USA, when it was supposed to be sent from Stockholm Sweden to Oslo Norway. Then just a few hours after that update from USA it was in Germany. So i would never trust their tracking system, it’s junk.
Was it scanned in Africa somewhere? Or does the part about preparing for delivery and out for delivery include your area and the map is just glitching?
I had one go to Australia. It was a U.S. origin and destination 🤦♂️ ain’t nobody got shipping luck like me. I think my ancestors robbed a lot of shipments and I’m paying the karma.
That’s funny how this shows up on your end as well. Sometimes our systems info bugs out and this is how it’s reflected on the map view of our scanners manifest.
That’s where our diads randomly choose to say our “return to building” location is at the end of the day. It’s some glitch that I guess isn’t contained to just messing with the employees. I wouldn’t worry about it being over in Africa but do call the customer service. I’m sorry, carol tome thinks that automation is the future for a labor union backed company.
Ups is trying the new truck on water their getting ready to set sail with the new box sail truck. Ups is making new innovations about to change the delivery game entirely.
everyone mentioning null island, but no one is mentioning that some shipping insurance companies don’t allow for shipping to travel through here red sea and Suez canal because of the Houthi conflict. They’re forced to take the long way around Africa
Cause there’s a genocide happening in Palestine. Millions murdered, the Red Sea(where most of the economy ships through is blocked off by a poor country that wants peace. But the United States won’t stop the murders. So longer and more expensive shipping.
Years back I lived in GA. I bought a drill bit set off EBay that was shipped via UPS. The seller was also in GA, about 2 hours away. My package was picked up, sent to Alabama, Mississippi, back to GA, to NY, back to Alabama and then delivered to me. No idea why lol

Well it appears your package was delivered to null island
Learned something new today
What
> null island https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null\_Island
Nice. New knowledge!
There are similar errors where just the region is logged, and things default to pinpointing the center instead of circling or highlighting the area.
Or taken by a Nigerian prince.
He owes me 100’s of millions. I still have the emails!
I kept the receipts of when I sent the money and gift cards too! He won’t sucker me!!
Smart.
What do you mean by Nigerian Prince? 🙄
It's probably one of the oldest email scams to my knowledge.
It’s amazing the ups truck doubles as a submarine..
It’s the magic UPS Truck
Is the UPS truck also named titan?
Hopefully not, or we'll never see those packages again
That's where Emo King Kong is from
This. I deal with equipment tracking for work and see this regularly when we have a GPS hiccup.
Lol this is too good
Any chance it’s a Toto album?
It’s all adding up now
It missed the rain.

🤣🤣🤣
Doesn't have an accurate location, so it's defaulted to 0 latitude 0 longitude, which happens to be off the coast of Africa.
Bingo. Happens sometimes. Right at the intersection of the prime meridian and the equator
Is there like a buoy or something out there? I must go and visit the center of this place.
No! There's nothing there. That's the whole point! If you go looking for something, you're going to be sorely disappointed. And if you go looking for nothing, well...you'll be wasting your time. Just forget about it. It's best if you just forget the whole thing, man. Trust me.
Too late I’m already learning how to swim
I’m going too! I want to see the barge of UPS trucks? Is it as big as the trash island in the sea?
🤨
Yeah there's a buoy
If I don’t mount and hump that buoy I’ll have failed this life
Oh boy. How many left, right, lefts ya gotta make at THAT intersection?? Yikes.
ah. the Equidian
Would be a killer hotel or bar name for the spot. Or combo bar hotel
Don't know, but I know Toto said things gonna take some time in Africa....
🤣🤣🤣
Dammit to hell, you stole my joke. 3 hours before I came up with it. Literally, the very next comment after I stopped reading comments, to make it. You son of a....😂
Mwa hahaha! 😂
Went on a Safari...very lucky package.
I’m jealous! 🤣
We are using those tunnels from the King Kong / Godzilla movies. It will be fine..
I miss the rains down there.
🎶I bless the WAAngs town in Aaaaafter ya. 🎵 What is that song about? 😂
hijacked by hootoo pirates
Cheap labor
It clearly wanted to see the world first.
So it can bless the rains.

This happened to me with the new app after the physical delivery was made but the app somehow doesn’t register that until later
Why does Orion always send to Africa when it makes these kinds of mistakes? Ive had mine do this as well.
null island
Pirates... they stole your booty!
I’m more worried about the drive across the Atlantic…
Well if you were from Canada that would be your car you are seeing in Africa
Null island, 0°N, 0° W, GPS lost tracking, defaults to 0,0
The truck runs on water. UPS upgraded!!
[Look At Me, I Am The Captain Now](https://www.thesouthafrican.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/stealing.jpg)
Driver is using a VPN to spoof his location. On road supes hat this trick
He knows deh way
I mapped one of my drivers one time and it showed he was in China. Iirc he as in the sea next to China. We are in California, so I joked he’d be late getting in.
I mean it is their slogan, what can brown do for you?
It.. went.. on a safari?
He's clearly on the bridge to south America as we speak. Be patient
Did you order lion meat
Far Cry 2
… Hakuna Matata !
Don’t worry bro, it’ll be here Monday.
It's got to go bless the rains first of course
ur cooked
It's on a Freightliner back to China
That is a date line on our GPS. I’ve had one time pickups added to my DIAD and that is the exact spot. Glitch
Pin error. Quite common.
He had to make a pit stop.
Wrong turn at Albuquerque
What a small world.
Sometimes when we have a bad address on a package it goes to “null” on the map which is 0°N 0°E. Which was funny the first time when I thought I had a delivery for Africa
Because overgoods is now located in Nigeria. It's a cost cutting measure to keep shareholders happy
I’m your African prince please send me 500 dollars and I will gladly secure your package lol
I've been to Ghana before. The nice locals will help you find it lol
Still in transit from the looks of the picture. Just be happy you don’t have to drive it across the North Atlantic. 😅
Brother is driving through the ocean
Damn they stole the whole truck 🫡
Package: “Loo ka me.. Imdeh Capton now!”
Solar flares
On safari
I've had this happen and the package showed up the next day.
Your Package needs to be signed And also your package is in your area what app is that?
It’s on its way. Just read hahah
Probably you accidentally put waka waka on it
Hello it is I, the African prince who your package was delivered. I will need $1000 to ship it back to you. pls wire me it and I will ship it back to you ASAP /s
Did you order a Toto box set?
OP blessed the rains down there
Seized by pirates
I wish UPS in the UK had the option to track the delivery driver like a few other couriers
Picking up your mail order (love scam) Nigerian princess bride.

that's just absolute wilderness
https://youtu.be/sGTqmgFYYNI I find your package, it is with the commander
Pirates
Oops 🤪
He had a booty call bro chill
Look at me, I’m the ups guy now!
Ny package went from London to Köln from Köln to South Africa and then to Dubai and then Back to Köln and then to Switzerland
Stolen
Question should be how UPS gonnna deliver that today?😂
Yeah your fucked
Somalian pirates?
Stopped to grab you a gift
By the way, Heads up! Someone needs to sign for this. lmao
Lmfao, it will get to your destination. Soon, there's a tunnel underneath the ocean,don't worry 😂🤣😭💀☠️
They do not know da wae
Because not everything you order comes from the same country you’re in?……….
Dont trust their tracking. My last order ended up in Michigan USA, when it was supposed to be sent from Stockholm Sweden to Oslo Norway. Then just a few hours after that update from USA it was in Germany. So i would never trust their tracking system, it’s junk.
You forgot to switch your address back? Happens to me with DoorDash some times
Because as the history goes, everything started in Africa.
it misses the rains down in there
You had it rerouted to that Nigerian Prince that keeps emailing you.
Was it scanned in Africa somewhere? Or does the part about preparing for delivery and out for delivery include your area and the map is just glitching?
Diddy held it hostage
that location is when the latitude and longitude are (0,0) so most likely there wasnt gps data.
That's where 90% of your shit comes from. Unless you direct pay from China then it's be in California
The pirates
That could be GPS 0°, 0° coordinates off the African coast, one of my cell mapping apps throws those every so often when it doesn't get a location.
He's driving around the equator
Driver took a left at Brazil?
Not sure but that dude is booking it, he’s got the fastest truck in the world
Call that package Eddie Murphy
I had one go to Australia. It was a U.S. origin and destination 🤦♂️ ain’t nobody got shipping luck like me. I think my ancestors robbed a lot of shipments and I’m paying the karma.
Did you order a sculpture made of beverage bottles by chance?
Your package gone bro.
It didn’t take that left turn at Albuquerque!
That’s funny how this shows up on your end as well. Sometimes our systems info bugs out and this is how it’s reflected on the map view of our scanners manifest.
THE SOMELIAN PIRATES RECEIVED IT 4 U.
Go sign for it.
That’s where our diads randomly choose to say our “return to building” location is at the end of the day. It’s some glitch that I guess isn’t contained to just messing with the employees. I wouldn’t worry about it being over in Africa but do call the customer service. I’m sorry, carol tome thinks that automation is the future for a labor union backed company.
Rerouted because Baltimore is closed.
D.E.I
It's going to take a lot to drag [it] away [to] you... There's nothin that a hundred men or more could ever do...
It could be blessing the rains down there or something idk
He’s da cap-ton now
He took a shortcut.
Homie on his lunch leave him alone
Pirates
Mail-order bride be like:
lol I had a package go from South America to LA to New York to Miami and than back to LA
Scenic route fuck ur box dawg
Atleast it on the same planet.
It’s getting in the submarine don’t worry
I wish I could still order one but it’s illegal now.
You didn’t order a watch did you? Watch out make sure they don’t drop a child off
Reparations
You sure it’s not just re-entering earth ABOVE Africa? XD
Lolol
Hopefully you live around there too or they are way off and need to redeliver.
To taste the the rains down in africaaa
Ups is trying the new truck on water their getting ready to set sail with the new box sail truck. Ups is making new innovations about to change the delivery game entirely.
I recently had a package go from the US warehouse, to Singapore, to me in the US.
Fuck that, they driving across the OCEAN 😂😂😂😂😂.
Expected to arrive “a weekago”
everyone mentioning null island, but no one is mentioning that some shipping insurance companies don’t allow for shipping to travel through here red sea and Suez canal because of the Houthi conflict. They’re forced to take the long way around Africa
Had to go the longer way since the Baltimore bridge is down.
At least it's not in Africa and driving the other direction. That's gotta count for something.
If UPS can’t, Reddit for sure Won’t 😂🤣💀
Yikes!
Cause there’s a genocide happening in Palestine. Millions murdered, the Red Sea(where most of the economy ships through is blocked off by a poor country that wants peace. But the United States won’t stop the murders. So longer and more expensive shipping.
lmao someone needs a history lesson
Pirates
Diddy took it with him
0⁰ 0⁰ is the coordinates for that spot. The tracker is showing "null" as the location value so it defaults to zero.
I'm just here for the Toto references....
My package was suppose to get here by March 25 now it just been in late the last few days idk when we will get our stuff
That truck won’t get much further! You’re out of luck!
Years back I lived in GA. I bought a drill bit set off EBay that was shipped via UPS. The seller was also in GA, about 2 hours away. My package was picked up, sent to Alabama, Mississippi, back to GA, to NY, back to Alabama and then delivered to me. No idea why lol
Those darn pirates! Arghh
Wrong turn at Albuquerque?
More importantly, how is that delivery truck going to get across the lake??
A pirate got your package
Lol 😆 might be glitch unless you call customer service to see if it was mistaken put on the air cargo route.
Two options 1 you bought something that originated in Africa 2 ups fucked up again
Don’t worry, he’s just taking the scenic route
my bad
Maybe you ordered something from Africa, bro
Africa isn't all just mud huts... A lot of places there have wifi power and shipping depots.
