How is this even possible?

How is this even possible? I live in Central Timezone. Let alone its after normal business hours?

...even the time I posted this is wrong. Its 11p not 9p.

I think there's problem with the system.

Two words - lowest bidder.   Their software was built by the cheap guys instead of the good ones; it looks like a glitch to us, but hey it's a feature!

Is it just me or do other people not get/understand what the issue is?

When it's May 17 22:38, 10:38 p.m. Central Daylight Time

- what time is the Queen of London,

- a few hours before which,

- UPS time-stamped using the Queen's time zone a scan on that package in California?

after normal business hours?

The POST OFFICE may only be open from about 9AM to 5PM or so, but the POSTAL SYSTEM, in order to move the gazillion packages it gets every day, operates 24/7. Middle of the night time stamps are perfectly normal.

Don't know what happened.

10:30p 17th Central is 8:30p 17th Pacific. But what we're looking at here is...

10:30p(22:30hrs) 17th Central and 12:30a(00:30hrs) 18th Pacific. As if California(who believe they are better than the rest of us) some how jumped a few hrs into the future.

We should do away with these 12hr am/pm **bleep**. And replace it with the real-time Greenich Mean time, 24hrs. That is how the Earth spins afterall. How does the expression go, "Dont fix it if it aint broke."

Oh great... now we're censoring abbreviations. Heaven forbid someone sesnitive feelings be hurt.

"We're unique human beings we have feelings"

We also have murderers, get use to it.

As previously explained, UPS is showing GMT, and not in chronological order.
