mysteries of the universe (part 2)
Nov. 21st, 2011 09:17 pmThe Mystery of Mailing
On November 14 (note: a Monday), a package was shipped to me. Estimated delivery: 1-3 days. I even got a handy link to track the Post Office’s progress on my box. Yay!
Little did I know of the MYSTERIOUS MYSTERY lurking between Ohio (where my box started) and New Hampshire (where I am). Tracking started out just as expected:
November 14: URBANA, OH
From there it traveled to the bustling hub of Columbus, OH, and by November 16th was as far as Memphis, TN. Then, the Mystery Spot.
On November 17th (note: a Wednesday), the package was “processed through USPS sort facility” in (this is straight from the tracking site) UNKNOWN, UN. And disappeared off the grid for three days. What happened in UNKNOWN, UN? I’m not sure I even *want* to know.
The package re-appeared today, tracking through New Hampshire for delivery. Not exactly 1-3 days, but far better than being lost in UNKNOWN-ville forever.
