How was it sent? Priority? Parcel Post? A lot depends on how it's sent as to where it's sent. Priority would be put on a plane (ironically a FedEx plane) and flown there. Parcel post or other cheaper methods might go to another office to be packed with other packages going north and placed on a truck, boat, or maybe even flown out. Some companies even have deals with other shipping companies to do this in order to get cheaper shipping rates. If I had your tracking # I could tell you more. BTW, as my avatar suggest, I DO work for the post office.
