But you have to allow for a fuel stop, coffee break, dinner and nature stops! 8 days sounds about right!![]()

Ordered a part from outside Chicago once. Tracked it.
Went to Memphis. Went to Denver. Went to Boston. Went to Miami. Went to LA, got hung up in Portland, and FOUR WEEKS after it started, it got to Seattle.
FedEx isn't my favorite. For the longest time they delivered to the Fire House which is 4 blocks South. I get deliveries from England thru UPS in 4 days.

Sometimes you have to wonder about the shipping routes these things take. I use the modern marvel of tracking packages and am on occasion flabbergasted at the routes things go through. I recently bought something that originated in AZ, it made a stop in OKC, then went to St. Louis, then to Lawton, OK before being delivered to me.

Years ago they had to get a printer part where I went to college. seems then it had to route from the US through a warehouse in Singapore and back to the Midwest for some reason. Never understood that and for fact it took 3 weeks.
On another note, got an envelope from he post office that said on the front, "because we care" and inside was a note explaining their regrets over a piece of damaged mail and how sorry they were. The bit they forwarded along was the address label and that corner of the page it was on. But not the actual item or even any part of the cover that said what it even was off of. So they spent time preparing and delivering a perfectly useless 4x4 bit of paper with my address on it.
So now it's in Charlotte from Jacksonville.
Somebody could have tossed it out the door when they flew over our house

Well this is a timely thread. I recently ordered something from Amazon and when I went to check on it via tracking, I saw this notice:

I think you have to admit, that with USPS also handling many deliveries for DHL, FedEx, and UPS - there'll be a few mix ups.
