OSM Plus USPS = Disaster
In my case, OSM did what they were supposed to do but the USPS messed up delivery (or lack thereof). My package coming to Fort Collins, Colorado left Glendale Heights Illinois on April 12th and was handed off by OSM to the Denver USPS Distribution Center on April 15th. According to Google Maps, the USPS Denver Distribution Center is 64 miles away from me in Fort Collins, Colorado. On April 20th the package scanned in at the USPS in Chicago, Illinois. According to Google Maps, Chicago, Illinois is 30 miles away from Glendale Heights. The package went from Glendale Heights to Denver which is 983 miles. Then it went from Denver to Chicago which is 996 miles. Now it has to go back from Chicago to Denver another 996 miles and then 64 miles from Denver to me. The package will have traveled a total of 3,039 miles by the time I finally get it. (If I actually get it) The package traveled an excess of 1992 miles a trip that should have been 1,047 miles. Is it any wonder the USPS is running an $83 Billion deficit?
