Your item left HONG KONG AIR MAIL CENTRE, HONG KONG on November 10, 2010. Information, if available, is updated periodically throughout the day. Please check again later.


So they're a day ahead of the U.S, right? (or wrong?) Would this message on the USPS website mean the shit left yesterday morning since yesterday it was 11/10 in Hong Kong?


Temporal inconsistency!! Worm hole.
 
Yes they are ahead of you.

The dateline runs mostly along the 180" longitude, except for a few pacific islands. So everybody on the west side of the 180" is ahead.

IE, Perth time right now is 12:20pm 11/11/10.

Folks in New Zealand can be nearly a whole day ahead of Hawaii.

I guess it depends on which way the plane carrying the package is flying.
 
If the shipper and shipping company are not connected to the same NTP server then the time stamp may really me useless, and even if they are you'd still need to find out what time zone the NTP is set to.... so in other words just wait for teh package :)

See that's what I'm talking about. It was Nov 10 by whose calender.
