It'd say it's a lot of organized chaos. If you look at the whole process, it's really impressive how it happens. For the individual on the ground, it can very well appear to be very confusing. Masses of people moving around and tons and tons of cargo. Friction abounds. Stuff gets misrouted and lost. People just work it out on both ends to get everything fixed. The good news is we're learned a bit from the UPSes and FedExes of the world and have better ways of tracking cargo than before, but it's still far from easy.
