They seem to go to many places. For CA some go down south even. There doesn't seem to be any direct routes. I order mostly clothes.

They are sent to the regional hubs that have capacity to handle them. It's all figured out moment by moment by computers. And occasionally yes, a box goes on the wrong truck and you get loop de loops and a delay before it gets to you. That rarely happens for me.

On CBS Sunday Morning yesterday, they did a whole segment on delivery methods. I the not so distant future delivery will mostly be handled by robots and drones. Progress ?

Yes, I am often amazed that a shipment can make it across country in a day or two and spend 3 to 5 days here in town before it gets to me. When that happens, it generally is because UPS or Fed Ex handed off to the post office for delivery. Although, I do experience a similar situation with Amazon, where they get the Prime delivery in town and on the truck - yet the delivery is not made and is rescheduled - sometimes delaying several days. Getting it the last 10 miles seems to be the hardest part of delivery these days. It is crazy!

No, I don't stalk my packages. What is the point in doing that? I wait several days before I check tracking but only because I want to see when they are coming to my house. I don't care where they've been between leaving QVC and arriving at my door.

I spend half my life tracking my packages! I just can't stand waiting for stuff and get excited when I know it's coming today! Also, I live in a building where the USPS, UPS, Fedex and anybody else will no longer deliver to your door, they just dump it in the mailroom so I like to know what I'm looking for when I get home, so I don't miss anything. It's all just jumbled together.

Sadly, tracking info isn't as reliable as it used to be. I had two QVC orders I've been tracking. One said that tracking information was not available. The other said Wednesday delivery. Both arrived today. Go figure. Not a complaint about the deliver, just about the tracking info.

I usually give it a few days after it has shipped to find out where it is and when I can expect delivery. We have porch thieves in our area and so if I am not going to be home on the day of delivery I ask a neighbor to keep an eye out and take it in for me. It's unfortunate but it happens all too frequently in our area, my understanding is they actually follow the delivery trucks and after a delivery wait if no one opens the door they figure it's up for grabs because no one is home and even with the ring doorbells and being recorded they still take what isn't their's.

I had an item from another company that was ordered this past November. That order has been in Glendale, California since 11/11/19. The company refunded my money a few days ago. Glad we can track items otherwise we would never know what happened.

@halfpint1 I sure have and can tell you that some of my packages have travelled more than I have ![]()
