You'd think, but UPS doesn't operate on the same temporal plane.

In a word, YES. Having shipped many packages from the SJ Games offices, 
I've watched some of them go directly to their destination with no 
trouble or delays, and many, many more go to an intermediate hub and 
sit there for several days for no apparent reason. If FedEx offered us 
the same bulk discounts as UPS, we'd switch in a heartbeat.
