Parcel routing and my new PDA

Having spent a morning catching up on invoicing I decided to make better use of my dead travelling time and purchase a PDA phone so I can enter my billing on the way home and have reporting services email me an invoice ready to send out to my client.

Anyway, the point of the post; look at this bizzare routing for my parcel which is coming from Manchester to Harpenden (5 miles from Luton airport)...

Date   Time   Location Service Area   Checkpoint Details

June 27, 2006   17:50   Manchester - UK   Shipment picked up

June 27, 2006   19:16   Manchester - UK   Departing origin

June 27, 2006   19:40   Manchester - UK   Departed from DHL facility in Manchester - UK

June 27, 2006   23:55   London-Heathrow - UK   Arrived at DHL facility in London-Heathrow - UK

June 28, 2006   06:45   London-Heathrow - UK   Departed from DHL facility in London-Heathrow - UK

June 28, 2006   07:30   Gatwick - UK   Arrived at DHL Facility

Talk about a trip, if only I was a plane spotter! The only airport its not been to is Stanstead, City and my local airport Luton, but there is time yet....

I also found it funny that it's gone from Heathrow down to Gatwick first as thats in completely the wrong direction.

Oh what fun....
