Ordered something for the boats from Rhode Island, delivered by FEDEX.
There's a little add-in for browsers that lets you track your stuff from UPS, FEDEX, et cetera, by plugging in the tracking number. Here's the tracking map: http://img393.imageshack.us/my.php?i...eliveryqo7.jpg Notice the backtracking from Memphis. Fly the package to Memphis, then offload it and fly it back to Dulles? This is efficiency, eh? VISTA has a neat little "snipping" tool that makes it easy to capture anything off the screen and save it. The map was snipped. Just discovered the snipping tool...maybe I'll become a mohel. Enjoy your day. |

This is efficiency, eh? That's just the way "hub" operations work. If you flew Delta from Providence to New York you would probably change planes in Atlanta. Everything that ships FedEx air goes to Memphis. The US Postal System works the same way. If you mail a letter across town it goes to the regional sorting center first and that might be several hundred miles away. Yes, I know. I just find it odd. And it is unlikely I would find myself in Atlanta for any reason. If I had to take a flight via Atlanta I'd find another airline first. It's interesting that they would fly a package there from CA and back again, but the economics work for some reason in volumes that Fed Ex deals with. |

Got it from packagemapping.com or something like that. It's on the firefox site. |

Just looked at the UPS tracking for a package, and flags an exception for the package. Delayed by a late train. |
