A Convoluted Journey

When I ordered my new watch, I specifically wanted to buy something that wouldn't have to be shipped from overseas, because I needed it urgently. And so I went to an Australian website that promised delivery within two to four days. So imagine my bemusement when I submitted my order and an automatically generated email told me that I'd be waiting from six to ten days. More digging around showed that the so-called Aussie website was located in Singapore. Here is the FedEx record showing the exotic journey of my little watch before it finally arrived eight days after ordering.

I've learnt my lesson and I won't be buying any more watches online. Next time I'll make my own from scratch.
