Accurate Package Tracking Has Gone Way of the Dinosaur

dibbons said

On Ebay i recently ordered some special face cream from Greece and an NOS parking cable from USA. Tracking packages I got the message for both have been "Delivered!" That's funny, I don't have any packages.

The truth is the packages were "delivered" to transfer stations en route to my address. That's what you get for having computers do all the thinking for us.

Gee, and yet without computers, you wouldn’t be able to track them at all...just sit and wait for them to arrive.

And of course, you would have had to place the orders by phone and wait a lot longer for the non-computerized manual system process and ship them. Also, your credit card processing would have taken several days to complete before they would even begin to process the order.
