access points?????

[Ms.PacMan]

I knew it was a matter of time before they got rid of 3 attemps.

I figured the same when number of attempts was left off the new delivery notices. They might just add more attempts as a different service level and charge.

I haven't had any access point deliveries yet.

They are talking to some customers on my route

I run a college route and have no problem getting rid of the apartment deliveries.

The university in question here is a fairly large MAC school. Student housing included a lot of unsecured apartments, and complexes where the offices refused accepting for student tenants. An access point would've been great, especially at the beginning of the semester when the chegg orders blow out all of the routes in that loop.

Our access points go live tomorrow. Should be interesting.

So, will the 80 year old lady that lives upstairs and gets 3 cases of adult diapers have to take the bus to pick up her packages from the access point.

I don't think this access point will ever get popular... It will disappear like a fart in the wind

You won't until they negotiate them in your area and then only the places you won't or can't release. Very few people ask for it. We're cramming it down their throats.

I thought the same about one which actually got business from all the people coming in.

So just to be clear, you're saying you DR FD at unsecured apartments....

 

[SignificantOwner]

Same day packages are brought to the access point on the driver's route. You will often make multiple stops at said access point throughout the day...

It sounded logical until this. Why go there more than once?

It's called area knowledge.

 

[DriveInDriveOut]

It's called area knowledge.

I don't make the rules, I just play the game.
I'm not sure what game you think you're playing, but good luck.

 

[bham brown]

It's called area knowledge.

It's called not following the methods that you say you follow.

I have one that goes live tomorrow. The company automatically creates a pickup account for these AP's which "enables" you to deliver same-day AP-eligible packages while picking up the packages that went unclaimed after "x" days.

The only problem is that I don't get to my non-DR work until after 1700. My mildly retarded dispatcher put the AP p/u time for 1300. I'm not going to say anything - management always knows best - so it looks like I'll be using that "next day" option quite a bit. I mean, I wouldn't dare go back twice in one day, ORION's head would spin!

Wait until the driver unloads giant Pottery Barns or California Closet's!

We've been told people are able to opt out from the access point such as disabled people.

AP are not suppose to have more than 25 packages at any one time...

You can override the change in deliver to a AP so if there is old person that isn't going to be able to make it to the AP your can override. Also if the package is over 44 lbs it doesn't go to a AP. There is a limit on the size of the package also and irregulars don't go to AP...
