When can I expect delivery

[bmneveu]

hey postal people, can anybody riddle me this?

i ordered an xmas present online and it turns out it is shipping from hawaii. first the shipping label was originated and package received at zip code 98621 in honolulu. now it is arrived at zip code 98620 still in honolulu.

is that zip code some aggregating facility where everything leaving the island goes to? do they load it on a boat or plane there to journey to the mainland? where does it land first when it gets to the mainland? then i assume it follows regular channels once in conus? it is shipping priority mail cost $5 over the purchase price, not hot ticket air but not slow boat to china stuff either. any estimates on timeframe? i know 2 day delivery typically takes at least 3 days to get to where i'm at usually.

pretty cool if you ask me, from the middle of the ocean to the middle of the north plains and beyond, this package will probably have 6,000 miles on it before it gets unwrapped, all for about $10. the maps show straight line distances but there is no straight line to get to where i'm at. way to go usps!

If I'm not mistaken, the airport near Honolulu is hawaii's international airport, and they fly to several destinations, and quite frequently as well.
