UPS never ceases to amaze me...
01/05/11 09:38 AM


Tracking my RMA replacement drive for a 1TB WD that's been getting flaky. I had it shipped to my office in South Boston.

Windsor Locks, CT, United States
01/05/2011 12:02 A.M. Arrival Scan

East Boston, MA, United States
01/04/2011 10:00 P.M. Departure Scan
01/04/2011 7:17 P.M. Arrival Scan

Philadelphia, PA, United States
01/04/2011 6:06 P.M. Departure Scan
01/04/2011 5:11 P.M. Arrival Scan

DFW Airport, TX, United States
01/04/2011 1:22 P.M. Departure Scan
01/04/2011 10:01 A.M. Arrival Scan

Ontario, CA, United States
01/04/2011 5:31 A.M. Departure Scan
Ontario, CA, United States
01/03/2011 9:34 P.M. Origin Scan

So the package flew into Boston, where I can see the airport from the conference room window. Then they loaded it on a truck and drove it ~120 miles to Windsor Locks, CT (passing within 2 miles of my house, BTW), where they will shortly put it back on a track, drive it another 120 miles, and deliver it a few miles from where it landed, hopefully by tomorrow.

I understand that their logistics are way more complicated than just my package, but it just seems like there would be a more efficient way.
