So I was happy to learn that the camera drone I order awhile back has been shipping and as expected I was given an online tracking number to see where it is at. I was actually surprised at how fast it was being shipped out from Asia while making its way to North America. According to the report anyways it indicated that it would take three days in total which means I should be getting it tomorrow.<\/p>\n
Here was the funny thing I thought. Of course this thing is traveling by air by the looks of it. So when I saw that its location was in Hong Kong at one point that made sense to me as to how it could arrive so fast here in BC, Canada. I figured it would take one whole day to fly it to a local shipment center of some sort where it would then take another day to organize and ship out to the recipients.<\/p>\n
But as I saw the breakdown apparently the airplane flight went all the way to the east coast in the US. More specifically, it basically traveled from Hong Kong to Cincinnati OH, USA in about 19 hours I believe. Though the date and time seems kind of messed up due to the time zone differences. So thinking about it, the package has literally flew right past the destination on the west coast and will now have to travel back.<\/p>\n
For my package anyways that seems really inefficient huh? Can\u2019t imagine the fuel cost of all those extra distance of travel. Of course that would make sense if there were a ton of packages for people in the east coast as well. Kind of makes you think for your own business productivity in general on whether or not you have logistics like this where if you found a better solution you could probably save so much time and money.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
