My new camera was in Stanford le Hope, just 2hrs. and 78 miles from my sticky paws! But now it's in Eindhoven, Netherlands awaiting a label to be printed. Then it'll be flown back and trucked.
If all goes well, the big brown van should, at some time, be parked outside my door tomorrow!

We live in an age where there seldom is a straight line between a dealer's shelf and your sticky paws. :)

Why didn't you just drive out there to get it? could have used the drive home to try it out on some local whatevers.

Not an option. Guess it's a bonded UPS warehouse from which many manufacturers send orders via. UPS. Seems daft - but I guess that's where the savings come from.

I've been confounded by the routing of deliveries also for many times it didn't seem logical to me. We would ship and receive dozens of packages everyday and many we were eagerly waiting on as parts we needed to serve our clients needs. At times we would track it and find it not far away only to check again and find it very far away then coming on its way back.
I guess some packages just enjoy riding around in the truck having a good time with the other packages.

The same thing with routing people around by the airlines. My flights were routed from Dallas, TX to Denver, CO and finally to Tampa, FL. Made no sense to me, but I saved over $200.00 by taking that route.

Sort of like when I went from Indianapolis IN to Columbus, Ohio to get to Los Angeles, CA. Commuter flight to Columbus was in a prop plane.
