[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 3251810, member: 1"] [URL='http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-biz-ups-holiday-package-deliveries-1217-story.html'][B]The last mile: How UPS gets 750 million packages from warehouse to doorstep this season - Chicago Tribune[/B][/URL] Technology has made it easier than ever to buy gifts online and track the spoils of your spending spree as they make their way from retailers’ warehouses to your doorstep in time for the holidays.
