    They’ve been constructing a very powerful catapult, your package will be launched at the correct trajectory tomorrow morning. Please ensure you have a net positioned at the correct coordinates to avoid any damage.

      I’ve long humored the idea of ballistic fried chicken.
      Fired from a giant cannon, friction cooks it to perfection on its way to you. Sadly, the math and materials science just aren’t on my side. You’d need to be very precise to avoid overcooking, or accidentally pulping the chicken with too high of a muzzle velocity (because then you just have a soup gun). And like, you’d have to have some sort of sabot that disintegrates into edible spices.

      Even if you could figure out delivery (and not wind up with it arriving embedded with smog or STARLINK satellites) there’s still the matter of receipt without destroying homes.

    I once had a package marked as having arrived despite never moving past the “shipping label printed” stage. But the company did send me a second one, and then a week later the first one arrived too and they told me to keep it.

    I had a package ship UPS out of Hong Kong recently too. Took a while to get out (I honestly thought it was going by boat) but once it did it was pretty quick. I’m guessing there’s a big holiday backup right now.

    Looks like you’re using ups. Try a 3rd party tracker. (Sorry i can’t remember the name of one - its been years since I had something shipped from out of country.)

    I’ve had success in the past tracking that way.
