Many, many years ago in a kingdom by the sea (I'm very serious), I met a young lady (hey, if you think this is going to rhyme you better leave now ) who knew someone in the casino business willing to supply me with some rare (only I knew they were rare ) and obsolete chips.

I fully trusted everyone involved; paid cash in their currency... and the deal went down without any problem. I suggested they ship via FedEx.

After not receiving the shipment I called FedEx expecting they would tell me exactly where my shipment was... they did; it was delivered to Motorola (Florida) in a 40-foot container. "Why Motorola" I asked... because everything shipped from this city; on a Tuesday; in this kingdom by the sea... simply goes to Motorola along with all the other componants manufactured in that city. Yep, my shipment of chips is in a FedEx box along with 2,000 other FedEx boxes.

Not to worry, though... as the person in charge of receiving will let the GM know if anything looking like casino chips turns up.

I received a call the next morning from the GM saying that they found my shipment and that FedEx will deliver it to my office that afternoon...
