So, I’m one of those impatient individuals who likes to track my packages, so I can make sure I’m home and check the front door for delivery in hopes of avoiding it being stolen. Lately, I had ordered something that took the scenic route around the San Francisco Bay Area.
Here’s the route it took. For those unfamiliar with the San Francisco Bay Area, I add distances and directions between the destinations.
1/7, the package was shipped from Southern California
1/9, 5:45 pm, it arrived at the San Francisco USPS Distribution Center
1/10, 8:00 am , it was in Santa Rosa (±50 miles north of San Francisco)
1/10, 8:00 pm, it was back at the San Francisco USPS Distribution Center
1/10, 11:30 pm, it was at the Oakland USPS Distribution Center (±11 miles east of San Francisco)
1/11, 5:00 am, it was at the San Jose USPS Distribution Center (±36 miles south of Oakland)
1/11, 9:00 pm, it was back at the Oakland USPS Distribution Center
The package must have needed a rest, since it stayed in Oakland for a few days
1/15, 4:15 am, it was in Walnut Creek (±13 miles east of Oakland)
1/16, delivered.
I’ve tracked many other packages delivered by USPS, and they’ve never taken this circuitous route. I can only guess that good help is hard to find.
