Delay in shipping rant

I have had this issue for years, but finally felt the need to rant about it (just a teeny rant really). I live on the west coast, so I understand that it will take USPS or UPS longer to bring my package to me than if I lived on the east coast. I have no issue wi this. However, it seems to take Q longer just to get my order TO the UPS facility or USPS than east coast residents. For example, I ordered the It Cosmetics TSV on 10/11/14 before it aired. By the time it aired on 10/14/14, many east coast customers had received theirs already even though we'd ordered them on the same day. Mine was in "in transit to UPS facility" still that day. Fast forward to today, 10/17/14 or six days after I placed my order. The order status is "in transit to UPS facility" still. Why isn't it at the UPS facility yet? It makes no sense that Q isn't bringing items to the UPS on a daily basis.... Rant over. I will wait the typical 2 weeks to receive my QVC purchase patiently....
