When purchasing electronically, the items we purchase can be from several different websites. The merchandise can come from different countries depending on where the products are manufactured. When purchasing merchandise from eBay the country or area where you are purchasing from varies, there is no dedicated area, but regardless of the area or item the desired product that you purchased will eventually be transported to you.

Air Transportation

Air transportation is transportation by air. Another word for air transportation is aviation.

The commodities we use on a daily basis are transported from around the world. For example, a T-shirt that you might have purchased at your local mall was made in Indonesia, transported from there to Canada, then placed in that store to be sold.

When products arrive from other countries they are then put on trucks to be locally transported to the store where they are going to be sold.

Everything we use on a daily basis was transported some how. It could of been transported using rail, water, air or road transportation. In conclusion, people should be more aware of how the things that they depend on are transported.
