Yikes, 3600 per hour sorted! amazing
Yes, shipping physically is quite different than shipping mentally
(which is what we usually do as customers)

That was just the test. The physical labor was about one package every 3 seconds or something like that.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Is it better to have the situation I ran into? I had a package (64 GB of RAM) going from Dallas TX to Cincinnati OH. I got a lot of tracking data - I got to watch it go to most of the Rocky Mountain and Pacific Northwest states before finally heading to the Midwest (St. Louis, MO), then it took a side trip to Philadelphia before heading back to the St. Louis again. The final steps in the delivery to Cincinnati were from Indianapolis, IN to Columbus, OH, then to Louisville, KY (presumably passing through Cincinnati on the way!), back to Indianapolis, back to Columbus and then finally to Cincinnati and final delivery. The package was fine, but it took 2 weeks and close to 4,000 miles to get here. I did feel like I got my money's worth for the shipping cost, though!

Another Bill Bryson quote (I have collected lots of them!):
Goodness knows, incidentally, what my letter had been doing in California for nearly six weeks, though it came back with a nice tan and an urge to get in touch with its inner feelings.

during the pandemic, the post office lost $250 worth of packages of mine. The items were shipped but never made it to my front door. To this day, they have not found them.
The post office manager said this was an everyday occurrence at the time.
more recently, Amazon in my area is now using UPS to deliver packages that its short-staffed delivery service cannot - for reasons I am not exactly sure of ( I can only guess, i.e. out sick, etc.). Hopefully, these packages don't become missing or lost. ugh.
Post office tracking numbers are slightly more useless than UPS, in my experience. If the items don't get logged during transit, the transit status never changes.

I have had good luck with UPS as well.
I suspect weather is problem.
Lots of it between Philly and NW coast.
Stay cool (no pun intended).
Vendor not accepting returns is not cool.

Not accepting returns is really common with hard to find GPUs right now. That market is ugly.

Understood. Memory used to be that way back in the day.

You have my condolences.
Two weeks ago I returned from a weekend away to find some property missing. No worries, I have cameras everywhere. Sadly, though, I can't recall my password for the DVR, and the only way to reset the password is to use the remote control. Coming from Sam's Club, the remote was not included in the package. I checked with the manufacturer - the remote is discontinued. I searched Amazon and found one that claims to be compatible, so I ordered it on Jan 16. It was promised to be delivered on Jan 19, but they shipped it using SurePost, the US Postal's system for losing packages. As soon as it hit USP, it went into the Phantom Zone. It left Phoenix last Thursday at 3:50 AM and hasn't phoned home since. Phoenix is a four-hour drive away, and the Post Office is three blocks away. In the meantime, I can't review the video to identify the thief, because that can only be done from the front panel.
My lessons:

Good luck with that thievery mess!

If it were a wishing well I would wish that your joke could be funny.
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

Well, clearly that was too easy, even for a Monday.
Well done, YAUT.

I find that anagrams generally are pretty simple!

That's why I try and avoid anagrams Rich , they almost always get solved quickly

I've watched enough WW2 movies to know what the RAF is, even over here on the left side of the pond.
