Packages by the Numbers
by Roger Barnette
The deliveryman's version of the children's book, "Where's Waldo?" is realized in the Internet consumer's urgent need to know; really know that a package is either delivered or enroute and not lost.
UPS, Fedex and even the US Postal Service have succumbed to these demands. Simply keep at hand your tracking number provided on their shipping receipt and you can go to the corresponding website, type in the number and often determine who signed for it and when it was delivered.

Federal Express (Fedex)

The real surprise is seeing how far our packages travel to get from here to there.
