I was waiting for an expensive parcel to arrive in the post.. and as I tracked it online, I watched while it first left .. Shenzhen , China...then to Chek Lap Kok, Hong Kong.. then to Dubai, and then onto Koein Germany, then to.. Castle Donington in the English Midlands, and finally to a distribution centre down here in the south about 20 miles from my house, before being delivered to my door... All in 3 days.... the Pony express riders, could never have imagined it in their wildest dreams could they?
Orphan's preferred! The tracking systems are amazing but it can be frustrating when I buy something in another country and it arrives at JFK in a flash then sits for two or three weeks until it can be transferred into the USPS.
