I ordered a Belkin HDMI cable from the Apple Store along with an AppleTV (before they are discontinued) and the order said that it would ship within 24-hours. That's all fine. It *did* ship in 24-hours.

The rant comes in for what happened after that item shipped. It was sent via 'DHL GlobalMail'. Ok I thought. DHL is dead, except for overseas the last I heard. It's shipping from Pennsylvania so I expected it in a few days.

It shipped from there to New Jersey! EAST! It's now going to be delivered (hopefully) on the 10th! A whole week after I ordered it!

Why is it going to New Jersey? For the 'air'? WFT? It's going a third of the way from the ship point to my house to go to New Jersey.

I just don't understand...

So, what I ordered will be here TOMORROW and I'll have to go BUY A CABLE LOCALLY to use it! :mad::confused:

Yes, the quickest distance between Chicago and London England is north towards Greenland, but New Jersey is in the complete opposite direction!
