SO I live just outside cardiff (no I am not welsh - just visiting), and the other day I ordered a present for my nephew from Amazon. I didn't pay Super Duper delivery or anything, but they issue you with a tracking number for this item.
Anyway, it was despatched from Swansea (Amazon have a big warehouse there), and for reasons I don't understand, it went to a sorting office in bedfordshire, despite there being a perfectly good one in Cardiff. This afternoon it is in Warrington! I could have driven to the warehouse in question in just over fifty minutes - its less than 30 miles away, yet this parcel will have done over 600 miles by the time it gets here.
I wonder why they are going bust?
