Pass (and pass) the parcel

In an attempt to bolster the struggling airline industry, UPS seem to have sent my package on something akin to a students backpacking trip (start at the bottom):
I'm pretty sure those updates are out of sync in places, but surely there must be a point where it's not actually cheaper to make things in China and then have them be shipped all over the place on their way to the customer?
I'm starting to see the ecomentalist point of view. Which is a scary thought in itself.
The only thin i think it that flights are cheaper is you do the same thing as your parcel and what did you order hmm?
I kindly donated my MacBook to my good lady wife, and was therefore forced to buy a new MacBook Pro to replace it.
Im guessing it was cheaper than buying a new one here?
Funny thing is, it was bought online from the 'UK' Apple Store.
I suspect it came straight from the factory because I customised it by adding a faster (7200rpm) drive.
