The volume of missent mail has certainly gone down in recent years due to both communication moving online and international post adopting more precise adress systems, but 10-15 years ago you could get parcels with multiple "missent to Austria - missent to Australia" stamps on them due to some incompetent people not realizing where it should actually go.

Talking about incompetence...

My wife ordered something from Sweden years ago and apparently there's a city in the US with the same name as ours, so it was sent there. Then to Jamaica, because... Who knows. Then to Germany, where customs wanted to have taxes collected, because it came from the Americas. We told them to send it back to Sweden. Four years later, DHL wrote a letter asking for money for the effort handing it over to customs.
