Southern Tour

Teripie thought this was worth mentioning said Tue, Dec 16th 2014 at 4:41pm ET

I currently have 7 orders winging my way from Dallas. One is yesterday’s, so it really doesn’t count. The other 6 orders are all over the south. I live in the Florida panhandle. Anyone know the direct route from Dallas to Florida? My shipments evidently don’t. I have stuff in Dallas, Ralph Alabama, Villa Rica Georgia, Irondale Alabama, and Ellenwood Georgia. This is not a complaint. I rather enjoy the geography lesson. It’s like some kind of Tiny Town Tour of the South. You go Meh!

If only the boxes were like passports, being stamped at each location.

Yeah, shipping lanes are weird, especially for SmartPost. Basically, they like to travel along the hubs, so your packages are probably aiming for Atlanta, Georgia.

Also, sometimes packages will skip zones too. So, you never know how your shipment might get to you or the massive leaps it might take. It's fun, I guess.

If you draw all the routes on a map it creates a rude gesture, compliments of the Post Office.
