Yeah, that's pretty bad. They had to send it all the way to Illinois, only to send it back to California?

Looks like you selected "Super Saver Shipping" to be delivered via a pack mule

 

[DPK]

Yep. It's UPS Ground and last week I asked them if they could send it two day air since they screwed up and was told that it can't be changed once in the system as ground. Riiight. It's supposed to arrive on the 24th now, but we shall see.

perhaps it was a mistake

The Hodgkins, IL site is their biggest and main sorting site in the US. Some minimum wage guy probably put it on the wrong truck and thats how it ended back out in CA. So its good that its coming back this way. If all goes well you should have it in 2 days (My gf is a manager at that site, I"ll have her keep an eye out for it...)

 

[DPK]

Thanks! Tell her it's in the small brown box!

It's now leaving the IL facility. Hopefully my package will actually head east and now back to CA or get rerouted to Pluto.
