Amazon's logistical AI?

I made an order on Amazon early Thursday evening. They promised delivery on Monday. Not complaining, just amused by the logistical "genius" of Amazon's system.

I literally live half a mile from the Boise city limits. My package started out in the Amazon Distribution center in Boise. At some point, when it comes back to the Boise Distribution center they're going to hand this off to the Post Office in Boise for the "last mile" of the delivery. But first, apparently, it has to go to Newark, California and back to same Boise Distribution Center, where it will then be handed off to the Post Office. So I'm just waiting for it to circle back to Boise. I wonder how often they do this? I guess they don't have any system in place to circumvent the normal procedure, no matter how silly. This is AI efficiency.
