I am sorry but sometimes people just don't have the time to go one town over and drop a package off. Do you get paid mileage for doing this for your company or do you charge gas to the person it is being delivered to?

edited.

shipping companies (fedex, ups, airborne/dhl) have several central hubs in CA because CA is so densly populated. it shouldn't go to another state just to go to another CA location. my guess is that your package was loaded into the wrong trailer and therefore went to the wrong destination.

I know for a fact that fedex and ups (i work for ups) have two central hubs in cali. UPS has one for socal 90000-93599 and one for norcal 93600+. Fedex also splits up their CA ground to a norcal hub and a socal hub. UPS has two air hubs in CA, and fedex has several air hubs.

sometimes people need to make sure that the person getting gets it and to confirm that they need a signature. there is a law firm in san francisco that fedex's documents two floors up.
