    Default Silly UPS

    I ordered a small firearm part the other day. You should see the tour it is going on across the western states.

    Started life in Kansas City, MO.

    Then it went all the way past my house to West Valley City, UT.

    It went from there to its current location in Billings, MT.

    Looks like it is planning on hitting my house sometime on Monday.

    I don't know anything about the daily operations of UPS but this seems a bit inefficient to me.

    Sounds reasonable if the UPS guy is on the Rocky Mountain High.

    having driven a route like that I have to say, it is inefficient, however you have to do what your dispatcher says. It may have been a miss pull at ups when it was loaded on the truck and they found it in Utah and the only way they could get it rerouted was to send it to Montana first.

    We should run a pool on where it will end up next. I've had an order from Fort Collins routed through Denver to get to Greeley with USPS.
