DISCLAIMER:  I AM NOT COMPLAINING, JUST POINTING OUT SOME ODD STUFF THEY DO

I ordered some ammo on Thursday night, two cases.

They shipped on Friday from the same business in Texas, destination Charlotte NC.

One package went from Fort Worth, to Mesquite, to Birmingham, to Greensboro to Charlotte.

The other package went from Fort Worth, to Mesquite, to Jackson MS, to Doraville Ga, to Charlotte, to Greensboro and ultimately...I hope...to Charlotte for delivery tomorrow.

Interesting

I'll bet the bullets in the second package shoot farther.

My rifle lower is doing the same shit.  Every motherfucking city, and that city's suburb.  It is like they are driving a fucking electric truck and keep stopping to charge.

It left their UPS hub on 2 different 18 wheelers

Obviously, but the point is why two different trucks.

Why two different routes

Why does one package arrive in the city of destination, go to Greensboro and then back to Charlotte

Seems like wasted effort and money

Well, when 100k+ packages arrive at 1 hub a day from 6pm to 830pm packages get split up

You mean you ordered some .303 from CTD.

ADMIT IT!

Not odd at all.  They are load-balancing.

I ordered some stuff from Illinois.   It went to California first.  Then took a tour of the continental United States.  Took a few weeks.

That's ok, I've had things shipped FedEx that went from FL to Charlotte, then to Burlington, then back to Charlotte.

Because Mesquite hub is a cluster fuck and one of them was miss sorted there.

Probably a misload.  Happens to lots of packages, every day.

With the amount of packages they process a day, and the speed that the people in the hubs are expected to work... mistakes will be made.

A friend was Tracking a Ground Package online....... It was put on a Plane by mistake & reached the Local Hub the next day.......





UPS put it back on a Plane & sent it back to the Midwest..... Where it was loaded into a Trailer & sent by Train back out here.....

I have had stuff arrive at the local UPS hub early according to the tracking and they held onto it until the actual estimated delivery day.

Buddy of mine ordered a part for his pool. Shipped from Ohio to Ft Worth, thru its destination (Abilene), to Lubbock, then came back down the same route two days later to his house.  

All  he could say is "Dammit, all I wanted is a heated pool!"
