Most shipping companies work on a hub and spoke system now. This means that all packages move from the pick up point to a central processing hub, then to another processing hub. This may seem at first glance to take longer, but what it does is consolidate all the packages into one location that can then be put on the appropriate transportation to go directly to the closest hub to you and be distributed to your location.
Imagine the cost if the package you dropped off had to be hand delivered directly from your pick up point to your delivery point. It would be wasteful and slow. If it can be moved to a point where all other packages that are going to a place similar to where your package is going and consolidated with other packages being delivered to the same place the efficiency of this delivery can be maximized with a very short processing time for your package. Now that package is being delivered with a whole bunch of other packages bound for your delivery location without deviating from your local delivery driver's usual delivery rounds. This driver is likely familiar with your street layout and and any complications to delivery routs that could save you all the delays of a driver that went from A to B without the benefit of this layout.
The amazing thing about this system is that the "Hub" points can be hundreds of miles from the originating destination, with modern air travel, and can still be faster than point to point delivery. Welcome to the modern age.
