I orderred an ipad air from apple webiste, and they processed my order on 18th, Nov.

 

But look at the traking information....its destination should be Edmonton, Canada....but the how ridiculous the routine is.....

    Actually its 100% logical.....you dont know how UPS hubs work,....they do that to save on gas AND time (contrary to logic you think from the image above)

     

    Louisville, KY, United States11/22/201322:07Arrival Scan

     

     

     

    Louisville, KY,  is North America NEXUS delivery point for UPS.........people get their stuff  FASTER if it all passes thru Louisville, KY HUB

     

     

    been there many times....100s of UPSs planes in and out of Louisville, KY every day.

     

     

    looks "insane"......its actually very logical   UPS knows how to get it done.

     

     

    UPS and Fedex move by VOLUME for fastest,....not "whats the shortest distance to X"

    Yes, I totally have no idea about how does UPS work, I just thought it is weird to send my ipad air from U.S to Canada back and forth... and it seems to be further and further to Edmonton......

     

    And your reply makes great sense, thank you!

    some UPS friends told me all about that

     

    seems wierd, ......only superficially so.

     

    packages move with giant FLOW (other packages),....it has to catch the right stream to move towards you

     

    otherwise theyre spending endless millions on fuel shipping half a plane -load of cargo
