Yeah, happens all the time.

I have no clue why, must be a system error.

You should call UPS and tell them to buy scanners from me. :hi5:

It's probably the fastest, or cheapest way to do it though. ..... I'm going with cheapest.

Yeah, that's pretty normal. All of the major parcel companies still work on the "hub and spoke" system.

edit: that, and your package was probably sent through the NC railhead, instead of being trucked up the eastcoast..

Shipping it on a truck would cost more than shipping it on a train

I wish I'd known that before yelling at them. :chuckles: I created a yearbook with Apple iphoto for a restaurant I worked at. Brought my lights with umbrellas and took pics of 350 employees with candid shots etc. Their banquet was on Tuesday, and I saw the shipment of 125 albums in Memphis on Monday. I freaked out. "IF THIS SHIPMENT ISN'T IN MALIBU BY 3:00pm TUESDAY, THEY WON'T MATTER!!!!!!!! :madr:

They were there at like 10am Tues. o:
