So why did my package leave Columbus today at 4:20 am and go to Maumee at 8:05?

 

Please educate me.

to piss you off, apparently.

 

Not sure I am pissed about it. Just does not make sense. Now I know why the cost of shipping continues to go up. Increased fuel consumption in the vehicles in which it is traveling in along with the increased number of people to handling my package. Yes. I just said that. :p

I don't know for sure, but here is my guess, the package went to a regional processing/sorting facility in Columbus. It is ran and sorted by computers mostly. Then it went to the the nearest local sorting facility, which is in Maumee ohio, it gets sorted and send to the Obetz distribution center where it gets sorted and put on trucks to be delivered. It may look stupid but the logistic geniuses at UPS probably know what they are dong.

I get a ton of stuff sent to my house monthly and it seems to depend what part of the country it comes from. I do hate when I see something show up in Obetz because it usually means another day or two of routing before it arrives at my door. Especially if its USPS via FedEx. Not usually so bad when its UPS, most things for me come in through Marion or Maumee.

likely a mistake. UPS has a giant hub down on the south end of columbus. Ive had things come from out of state that go straight that that location to my door. Never have i had anything go from columbus, to out of town then to my door.
