How UPS Cargo Containers Work

No matter how far you are from your nearest neighbor, if you live in the United States or Europe, UPS can deliver to your address. UPS can deliver to 80 percent of the planet within 48 hours, so if you live somewhere else, it's still pretty likely that UPS can find you to drop off or pick up packages. That's a lot of addresses -- and a lot of packages. In fact, in 2005, UPS delivered 3.75 billion packages and letters. That's more than one package for every two people in the entire world.

I think I would have mentioned that there are about 16 computers that scan and send every package to the correct location - via the correct shipping route. Take away the computer - and UPS is LOST!!!!!!!!
