I am expecting something I bought off ebay. The seller lives in Vegas, and I just checked the shipping/tracking on ebay. It said:

Accepted in Vegas, processed through sort in Bell Gardens, California.

I live in MINNESOTA.

If my company shipped something 300 miles one way out of the way, then 300 miles past where it was originally shipped from, then finally off to destination- I'd expect my company to go broke, too.
