Shipping Via Snail

So in early December, when I ordered Laura‘s laptop, it went from Shanghai to Anchorage to Indianapolis to my door in Cupertino in about 36 hours. That wasn't even any kind of rush shipping. I was highly impressed.

So far, my iSight has been in transit from Sacramento for almost 2 full days. It spent 20 hours in a sort facility. 20! And now, 12 hours after leaving San Jose on a delivery vehicle, it still hasn't managed to find me yet. I'll tell you, Cupertino's not that big, and our receiving department really isn't that hard to find.

Apparently I need to order more of my stuff directly from warehouses in Shanghai, where they don't ship things by strapping them to a narcoleptic snail with no sense of direction.
