The Box has arrived at import company Big Lots in Tremont, Pennsylvania after travelling across the United States from Los Angeles by rail and road.

It arrived in Los Angeles with a cargo of consumer goods on Wednesday 3rd December.

In normal circumstances the location of the Box should be shown on the map, as transmitted from a Global Positioning System (GPS) unit attached to it

Unfortunately, owing to some major technical problems with the Box's GPS unit beyond our control, we will only be able to make sporadic updates to this map over the Christmas period until repairs can be made.

Use the arrow controls top left to move the map left, right, up and down. Use the plus and minus button to zoom in and out. You can also move the map by clicking on it with a mouse.

The location shown for the Box could be several hours old, depending when our systems received the last transmitted position. Sometimes we may use the position of the ship carrying the container to give its location, if the container has been stowed in a position that means its GPS unit cannot send a signal to satellites.

The green dots show previous locations for the Box, with times given in GMT. The green line connecting them indicates the approximate route.

At times, the Box will not move for periods up to several days, awaiting its next load or transport. For latest information on what's going on, seeThe home of The Box.
