When a parcel goes to another country
Distances on a map remain the same, but we look at them very differently today than we did even 30-40 years ago, not to mention in earlier times. The world has, in a sense, gotten smaller. This is perfectly evident from the growth of e-commerce. The number of courier shipments sent abroad is growing exponentially. Mainly because customers from different countries can nowadays freely visit online stores or online sales platforms. And sellers can easily and efficiently send ordered goods to recipients located hundreds or thousands of kilometers away.
