Still pretty funny.

Wrong direction. If those times are local then the package arrived in Kentucky 59 minutes before it left Phoenix. :D

Checking it this morning, it now shows a more realistic arrival time around 2 am.

The UPS tracking is a little goofy for me lately..I bought a 7D through here and shipped on the 13th..it got to albequerque on the 15th and hasnt left since..yet it is scheduled to arrive today in louisiana..either the lady on the phone is keeping me optimistic or the site is not updating..or someone didn't scan it on the way out..lol

A few years ago I had an issue with a UPS package. It came from Maine and had an arrival scan UPS depot at Harrisonburg, PA then "dissappeared" for a week before an arrival scan at the original office up in Maine. I guess it fell out of a larger cart and was rolling around in the back of the truck for a week.
