This impressed me a lot, and I realized there is a lot more to shipping than putting something on a plane and driving it to a house. Apparently UPS doesn't ship to Pittsburgh Airport so they had to drive the racket over from Thornburg, PA (Which I have never heard of... have you??). Also surprising was the number of cities the racket went to. It started in San Luis Obispo, CA, which is Tennis Warehouse headquarters. It then flew to five other cities before being loaded onto a truck! And here my mom complains about connecting flights when going on vacation! :P
*UPDATE* WHILE WRITING THIS ENTRY, I CHECKED THE UPS SITE AND MY RACKET HAS ARRIVED. I LOVE IT! (I have yet to play with it though :) ).
Anyway, the process is pretty complicated, and my respect for shipping companies has gone up a lot!
