From Dongguan, China to Park City, Utah

Yesterday, we received some custom window coverings ordered through Blind.com.

For a week, we've been able to follow their whereabouts from the factory that manufactured them to size, in Dongguan, about 50 miles north of Hong Kong, to Shenzen the border town to that city.

They were flewn to Osaka, Japan before being put on a plane bound to Indianapolis, Indiana. From there, they got to Memphis, Tennessee, the large Federal Express hub, before their last flight to Salt Lake City.

The two parcels left the Dongguan assembly line on October 13 and were in our hands on October 20. That's right, just one week!

The cost was incredibly competitive and shipping was free; a deal very, very hard to beat. The process is called globalization.
