Sending around the world can sometimes be, well, a chore to say the least. Look under the hood of international delivery services, and you’ll find that the miracle of transit these days is actually the end product of a lot of hard work. There are often hundreds of people involved, as well as a wealth of planes, trains and automobiles, so things can get a little complicated.
