The Shipping Blues

I was expecting a package from Amazon.com with an expected arrival date of 2/9 and I checked on 2/9 to see its whereabouts. The package had been put on a truck for delivery that day out of Capitol Heights, MD, and I assumed it would safely be in my hands by that evening.

On 2/10 I checked again and for some reason my package was checked back in at Capital Heights and flown to Memphis, Tennessee, where it languished for a couple of days. Now the tracking software says again that the package is out for delivery from Capitol Heights.

And no, it wasn't DHL who did this, but the USPS. That's what I get for choosing Free SuperSaver Shipping.
