UPS Delivery issues!

[polo54]

Ordered something from America.

This is the progress:

20/12/2010: Milwaukee, WI, US
21/12/2010: East Midlands Aiport (Out for Delivery apparently)
21/12/2010: Louisville, KY, US
21/12/2010: Philadelphia, PA, US


What I don't understand is why they would send it from USA to UK and then back to USA and then back to UK again...

I doubt it made it out of east midlands airport and across two US states in under 24 hours. Probably an error.

It's obviously sorted by earliest date and latest time on that day. For example...

21:00hrs 20/12/2010: Milwaukee, WI, US
20:00hrs 21/12/2010: East Midlands Aiport (Out for Delivery apparently)
11:00hrs 21/12/2010: Louisville, KY, US
08:00hrs 21/12/2010: Philadelphia, PA, US

so the actual order chronologically is :

21:00hrs 20/12/2010: Milwaukee, WI, US
08:00hrs 21/12/2010: Philadelphia, PA, US
11:00hrs 21/12/2010: Louisville, KY, US
20:00hrs 21/12/2010: East Midlands Aiport (Out for Delivery apparently)

(and yes, there ARE flights from Louisville to East Midlands... I checked )

Quite common, the EMA scan isn't a physical parcel scan its whats called a destination scan i.e. the next scheduled stopping point. Sometimes due to weather/late planes etc the previous scan appears after the next one if you see what i mean. The time difference also plays a part, once the parcel receives its physical scan at EMA then it will make more sense.

Time difference you dolt.

A serious feat of organisation to move it from there to here that quickly, hats off to them.
