So if USPS wasn't unionized the package wouldn't have gone to Chicago?


You fail to see how inefficient and red tape laden they are???

To name a few: American Postal Workers Union, The National Association of Letter Carriers, National Postal Mail Handlers Union, and the National Rural Letter Carriers' Association,

Which forces packages from China to pass through Chicago?

Depending on from where in China the radios were shipped, the difference in air distance for landing in LA vs Chicago and then on to Denver is 5-10%. Based on flight schedules (which you must be an expert on) which is faster?

You didn't answer my question. See original post.

Isn't O'Hare the largest airport in the US, or at least, does the most traffic? I know they have quite a large cargo area and uses quite a few Chinese cargo companies.

Had Friday off and forgot to turn my alarm back on. Woke up late and ended up getting in an hour after I am supposed to. Nobody even noticed. =(

I asked if my buds were OK. I got scorned and laughed at by the ATOT wrecking crew. :(

Some posters on a forum I frequent don't know how to keep their shit in the P&N forum

If they don't post here, how will they get new followers? It's a closed system there.


My problem: commute took me 1 hour and 50 minutes this morning. During off-peak hours, it can be done in 50 minutes. And I had to get into an overloaded cattle car for part of it.

Went to Best Buy, and looked at the new iPhone 6. Damn thing looks practically the same as my 2 year old Samsung Galaxy S3.

I also saw one of those new 80" curved Samsung 4K TV's. Wanted one, but couldn't get it because it had an $8,000 price tag attached to it.

Left Best Buy disappointed.

I was about to leave the washroom by foot-tapping the handicap button when some guy pushed the door open... Almost had to use my just cleaned hands to hold the door open.

I have almost nothing to do. My employer already warned me once about internet usage during company time.
