Had a good laugh when I got home from work. I am having a kite shipped to me from Powerzone so when I tracked it I expected to see that it was gonna travel East from Washington and then pop up North into Canada. But not this time, when I tracked it here's what the message told me:


Your item left the United States from ISC SAN FRANCISCO (USPS) at 3:50 am on October 29, 2010. Information, if available, is updated periodically throughout the day. Please check again later.


Never once thought that a package would have to go to San Francisco to go to Canada, and I thought that I couldn't read a map lol. Anyway I got a chuckle out of it so I thought that maybe someone else would find the humor in it as well.:singing:

Not exactly crazy.
Even cheap air flights take you through a " spoke " method. San Fran is just that shippers spoke. I am as likely to have to fly to Salt Lake as San Fran. depending on the airline that can offer my cheapest ticket to Vegas.

Ha! I never thought of it that way and here I thought I was getting a special shipping route dedicated to awesome kiting gear

What makes me laugh is when it takes like, 5 days to get out of the location it was dropped at, 9 days to get to a hub like NY, 2 days to get over the ocean and 1 day to get through customs here and into my hot & sweaty mitts ... still, could be worse. Could be the UK post system :o
