Not lost in L.A.

It's amusing to watch, the journey of a small package of sports apparel from Arizona to Auckland.

The L.A. Circuit

Have followed several doing this journey, over the past year or so, and they always spend about five or six days bouncing around Los Angeles. I presume it is some sort of consolidation/processing but seems rather cumbersome!

Five days from Europe?

For comparison another sports apparel package, also on DHL Parcel Intl Direct, from France to NZ. Five days order to door*, and two of them were the weekend:

Mulhouse - France >> Basel - Switzerland >> Leipzig - Germany >> London-Heathrow - Uk >> Auckland - New Zealand

* PS: Also, why does it take Stellantis 6-8 weeks to ship a small, non-hazardous content, similar volume, Abarth car part from Europe to NZ? They also offer no express delivery, even if you're prepared to pay a premium.
