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

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.
