How not to send a package

So, shipping a package to the north of Sweden, under a deadline would seem easy. Shipped last week Thursday, for a cost of about €100, with a guarantee of arriving at its destination by the end of the day on Monday.
A bit tight, but still within the deadline I was working with of by Tuesday the 15th of February.
I also ticked that little box for offsetting the carbon footprint of shipping your package.
Yesterday morning the 'updated' scheduled delivery time was by the end of the day Tuesday the 15th.
This morning, the 'updated' scheduled delivery time was by the end of the day tomorrow, Wednesday the 16th.



-UPS Tracking info - FAIL

I really don't think a package from the Netherlands to northern Sweden via GermanyChina, Thailand, India, and Germany again, can reasonably arrive with a properly compensated carbon footprint, although that wasn't exactly the main concern for me.
