Re: Shipping Concern

I wasn't all that surprised to see that our robot went all the way from Canada to Memphis, TN, before being delivered to New Hampshire.

Such is the nature of FedEx's delivery system - by sending all of their packages to "hub" cities, they only have to schedule flights to and from these cities, and so they can deliver most packages in a reasonable amount of time instead of some packages very quickly and others very slowly.
