Ol Smoke Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I ranted about this a while back but it keeps happening. I ordered my software for this new build I am doing from two different states; Indiana and California. I ordered both softwares at the same time and they were shipped on Tuesday the 24th before noon.

WTF! The one from California is only 600 miles away from me. But Indiana is over 2000 miles from me. It takes the USPS truck 2 days to go from LA to Portland. I can send a letter to my son, who is 425 miles from me, and it will get there the next day. Now this has been happening for several years now. One order from CA took nine days to get here. It only took the Pony Express 7 days to go from St. Louis to San Francisco. Unbelievable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take that over the weekend and here we are Another option is it is using a smaller hub, with less frequent flights. /me worked for about 3 years for a package delivery where I delivered to the homes. Currently I work -although not on that project- for a company that has UPS as a major customer. I've been quite interested in these subjects for some reason; mainly the scheduling of those Edited September 29, 2013 by rolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
