My new Boat Numbers were shipped

[Maverickpro201]

Iguana Graphics was very prompt. Go my New Numbers Mailed. Now these Numbers are coming to Missouri. But Look at USPS shipping. No Wonder They Always Need More Money. Once it left Florida, it went to California Land of Fruits, 3 days later. Now 2 days later Heaven only Knows.

It's that way for almost everything I order from East of the Mississippi River. 

Recently had boat seats ordered from Tennessee that went to Phoenix Az., then to Omaha, Neb. then FINALLY to Gravois mills, Mo.

We want to ship a little jewlery box with several keys in it to the farm in IL.  East central IL near the IN border.  UPS, $32!!   He said its because it's in the middle of nowhere...  We're trying USPS next.  And I don't care if they circumnavigate the globe as long as it's a reasonable price😆

Airline flights are the same way. I am planning for a trip to Oklahoma City. I can fly from MD to Las Vegas or Salt Lake to get to OKC with 11 to 12 hrs of travel or go to Dallas or Houston with only 7-8 hrs of travel. 🤔

I can relate. My longtime coworker retired & moved up to the Big Smoke (as he calls it) up by St. Louis. He complained that he couldn't find the brand of corn bread we use to make our award-winning Mexican cornbread.  I purchased five boxes, boxed them up to ship them USPS 170 miles due north to him. They went to Cape, then to St. Louis, then to Georgia, Alabama, then to parts unknown. I requested tracking for it. Six months later I received an email stating they could not locate the package & the tracking had expired. I remember thinking what if this had been something important.
