Today I got my new Lenovo Ideapad. Looks like it has travelled the world before getting here. It started in Shanghai China, from there it went through, Osaka, Japan, Narita, Japan, Anchorage, Alaska, Louisville, Kentucky, Port Hope Ontario, Lachine Quebec and finally NS.
UPS lists all this but not in real time. Even yesterday it showed out for delivery while the guy had come and gone at 10.00am. Even today it still shows out for delivery. I guess the driver will go back and only then the status gets updated. How sad. With the technology it should be able to show immediately. For instance yesterday, by 10.00am if it was updated one would not have rushed home from work to find the yellow sticker.
Purolator is doing the deliveries for UPS here in Halifax. And how nice it would be if these couriers could give one a time window when the delivery would be made. So one does not have to stay home the whole day. It could be as simple as stating delivery by noon or delivery anytime between noon to 5.00pm or delivery after 5.00pm. Moreover, I think these guys don't even have a office in Halifax. It is in Dartmouth some place. But I may be wrong.
