Snail Mail
It’s so funny the way things are shipped. I use this site called the Avery Universal Package Tracker to track things that I have due in the mail, because I can enter multiple services (fedex, usps, ups) all on one page. Well they also show you a little Google Map image to visually show you the path your package is taking. When you can actually SEE where your box has went, you notice just how bizarre some of the shipping patterns truly are.
Take for example the image above of a package I have arriving via. UPS. Originated in Santa Rosa, California, and was shipped to 2 other different locations in CA before being taken clear across the country to Louisville, Kentucky. Then shipped ALL the way back across the country up to Alaska.
Of course I know that these different shipping services have multiple hubs all around the country, and only “some” of them are able to make the trip to Alaska, but it just seems funny seeing the box being shipped further away from me only to be brought closer later!
