[QUOTE="Gman24, post: 139488, member: 6367"] Next day rates. All next day service used to be that way when next day started. It used to be you could send a next day letter to ANYWHERE in the 50 states and it was one FLAT rate. UPS got "smart" and realized they were losing money on a next day letter from EAST coast being shipped to West coast. You guys have to realize that USPS is subsidized by the US government. Their bottom line isn't quite as important as a privately owned company like UPS. UPS has ALWAYS done business to make PROFIT. Personally, I hope it stays that way, MINE, YOURs, and everyones job depends on it. This is another subject, but that's why some of you see FED EX get in the door sometimes and get our business. They come in a drop rates way below ours for a year or so, even though they may actually not be making ANYTHING, then BAM they go up 15-20% 6 months or a year later. The customer usually doesn't see it coming. UPS is NOT going to drop rates for any customer unless it sees a profit in doing so. That's just good business. [/QUOTE]
