My sewing machine is in Arizona already! Whee!

Oh, you're going to spend all day hitting the "Refresh" button, aren't you?

Actually, I'm going to read the small print and conclude that "Departure Scan" means it's on a truck. And was last seen in Phoenix.

Then I'm going to think about it some more and decide I really don't want to know. I shall now avert my eyes until some time Monday.

The annoying thing is when a retailer sends you an email with a tracking number telling you that your package has shipped, when really what they mean is that they've printed a shipping label and your package isn't even in the UPS system yet.

I'm much happier with shippers that wait until the package has actually left the building.

Amazon has a nifty thing embedded in their web page where you can just push a single button and track it right there. You don't have to go to ups.com and copy/paste the tracking number or anything. (I think it's particularly nifty because it actually works, at least in this case.)
