7 Days from birth to arrival

On Tuesday, April 2nd, I ordered a Chumby. Here's the UPS tracking log that chronicles its trip from manufacturer to ABQ. Notice that the longest delay was in Louisville, waiting to clear customs. We take for granted how quickly stuff can get from one end of the world to another. Of course UPS doesn't deliver on Saturday and there is no mechanism for me to go pick the package up at their depot, so we wait till Monday.SHENZHEN, CHINA 04/01 5:15 P.M.
