Monday I ordered some stuff from Colorado with free shipping. It was 13 pounds with a box at least 1 ft in size, so I assume for free shipping it did not go by air. See the attached on-line tracking I copied from my laptop screen - it went from what I presume are UPS facilities in Commerce City CO (next to Denver) to Secaucus NJ in 27 hours (I assume all times are local).
Is there any chance at all that went by rail? That 27 hours seems very fast even by truck! I know UPS is a big intermodal customer, but I would think even high priority intermodal is much slower than that...
Any experts on intermodal vs. truck out there?
Thanks, Jim S
It went "UPS SurePost" which means UPS delivers to my local post office, and USPS takes it to my house. I figure UPS will give it to my P.O today or tomorrow, so I might get it Thursday or Friday. Friday is the scheduled delivery, which would be 4-day shipping, which to me sounds sort of standard for ground shipping for something from Colorado. Is there any chance at all that went by rail?
