UPS Tracking. Did I get screwed?

I ordered a camera with 3-5 day ground a week ago (from the east coast). Scheduled delivery is tomorrow, but my package arrived at a UPS location 1 hour from me on Monday. This location isn't the final destination so it seems as if they have been holding it there for 3 days. Is this normal? Usually when a package gets to this location early, it's out for delivery the next day. But for some reason I get this feeling it's been lost or stolen at that location.

I just want to know if I'm worrying for nothing. Anyone have a similar experience?

Mark - they're screwing with you, as they do everyone else. If you've only paid for "ground" delivery, they'll take their time in delivering it. Don't worry, your camera isn't missing or stolen.

To be sure, call 1-800-PICK-UPS, give the operator your tracking number, and ask what's up. Sometimes they have info that isn't available on their website to the public.

It says San Pablo. I actually got an automated call like 20 minutes ago saying it will arrive tomorrow.

Yea I gave them a call 2x and both reps said they can't tell me anything until the package is at its final destination.

I'm fine with waiting. I just thought it was really strange that it would sit at a warehouse for 3 days only an hour away from it's final destination.
