UPS? Are you kidding?

Question

So i ordered computer parts for my first computer build off newegg. Guarantees 3 days shipping, then my parts say it wont come here till the 29 when i ordered on the 23. not to mention my computer case which i tracked is only a 5 minute drive away says it wont be here till the 27th. UPS is really breaking my balls here. maybe im too excited to have a powerful computer for the first time and i just cant wait ;_;

UPS what's the deal??!!

Answer 1

Shipments move in a predetermined path and even if it is close by you, it might go several hundred miles away to a main ups hub before it is delivered to you.

Like usps, I can mail a letter to the next town over which is like 5 miles, and it'll go 240 miles roundtrip to the big city before it gets delivered.
