		Is this the way to do it?  No wonder shipping costs so much...shipment originated in Brockton and destination Brockton via CT?  
Yes shipment is 2 cases of wine.

 Didn't you have something similar happen last year.  The package went from like Maine to Florida to Massachusetts?  Or did I just make that up?

		 Everything is screwed up in December.  They deal with twice the volume so that means 10 times the screw ups.  I went to check my mailbox that's at a UPS store yesterday.  If you want someone west of the Mississippi to receive a package before Christmas, you've already missed the recommended ship date. 
 
Since they explicitly say "From Dec 1 - Dec 31, our guaranteed delivery estimates do not apply", they should then be decreasing their prices.  Less service should come at a decreased cost.

 Shortest distance between Brockton (main distribution & receiving) and W. Bridgewater (FEDEX Home) is via Willington CT.
