The joys of international postage

[Dangermouse]

I had a package sent from Georgia recently and they offered an option to receive tracking notifications
Well what fun that has been kinda wish I was the package LOL I get all these email updates telling me where the package is.
Started in Georgia went to Florida and then from Miami It went to LA and then to Chicago before finding a plane to Australia. It arrived in Sydney today. Wonder how long it will take to make it north to me in Brisbane (around 900km)

Cheers

I have much better luck using UPS to mail to Oz.

Atlanta - Miami - LA - Chicago: +- 7 500km
Atlanta - Chicago: +- 950km

I would love to see the algorithm/logic that resulted in this scenic trip!

I finally gave up on the insane high cost of my prescription and went to a Canadian pharmacy. I ordered from Canada, but had to pay a Florida firm, then got a notice that it was shipped from the Far East somewhere, and when it arrived, there was a label on it that said Istanbul, Turkey, with no explanation what the Turks had to do with it. The label has no less than 8 languages on it, including Braille. It is the real thing, does the same stuff, but I must have decided it was all a scam a half dozen times during the experience. It isn't so much a small world, its just goofy.
