I know it has to do with shipping routes and efficiency and such, but this sort of thing always makes me laugh.

This is the tracking on a package on its way to me from just across the border into Indiana. Instead of the 228 miles (by google maps) from Richmond, IN to Akron, OH, it will travel a total of about 536 miles, or 308 extra miles - more than the entire trip from Richmond.

Processed through Sort Facility, July 26, 2011, 5:27 pm, WARRENDALE, PA 15086 [369 miles from Indy, 94.2 miles southeast of Akron]
Processed through Sort Facility, July 25, 2011, 10:08 pm, INDIANAPOLIS, IN 46241 [72.9 miles further West]
Electronic Shipping Info Received, July 25, 2011

Likely, they don't have a truck that runs between Richmond and Akron. So it goes to a hub where it is transferred to a truck that goes to Akron or to yet another hub that covers Akron. If it were an air shipment, it would go to Louisville before going to one of the hubs. Our UPS shipments all come through the Indy hub no matter where they originated.
