So the question is pretty straight forward,and I didn't know of a better space to ask it. When you order something, execute shipping companies just hold onto it, and until the expected delivery date instead of sending them out to be delivered? I ask because a couple of times things that absorb expected delivery dates of 2+ weeks will arrive in approximately 5 days,yet sometimes things that are shipping from a location only a couple hours down the road will take the entire 2 weeks. EDIT: I gotta admit, I never thought that this would be such a popular topic. I guess a lot of people are curious approximately the slow delivery times during the holiday season! submitted by xToxicInferno to explainlikeimfive[link][405 comments]
