[QUOTE="TUT, post: 2235737, member: 29298"] The USPS example I gave I don't think you read it correctly in how I meant it. The point is their system can handle 7 days like yours could if manned, it's just the same system with no down time. This is doable if you like it or not. There are other services your customers are asking for that would be very difficult for you to pull off. How about all packages on a 2 hour delivery window with a very small accessorial charge based upon the recipients request any time from 8am to 8pm? I can assure you the industry is asking you to do this and asking why not? And with the threat of "if you don't some day you'll be a dinosaur". Yes they say it to your sales people like that. Sat is virtually a done deal and most likely Sunday in time. USPS has not only been taking volume on weekends, but they have also picked up relevant volume that was getting hit with the new dim rules the small package carriers implimented last year to ground. They've seen a real uptick in volume. And I know everyone gets defensive about their own, but USPS is reliable enough that it is working and saving shippers a lot of money. [/QUOTE]
