Why is the postal service so inefficient?

I live in southern Ontario and I ordered a Christmas gift through eBay from a seller in New York State. As I watched the tracking history over the last few days, I can see it went from New York to Further away to New Jersey, to further still Kentucky, and then slightly closer to Ohio.

If anyone knows their geography, they know I could have driven to New York, picked up the item myself and driven home in less than a day.

So why do they play hot potato with packages so much? It seems so inefficient.
