[QUOTE="TUT, post: 1688360, member: 29298"] The first post is what we hear all the time, "I don't want a stranger", from feedback I receive if all is equal to the shipper or very close, they do prefer the brands. However they've found the recipient just wants a successful delivery, and unmarked contractors get the job done well enough. Strangers come up to doors all the time, to me the thought is more trying to sell fear, for my job protection. The issue I have is what happens when the transactions doesn't finish properly, it is bound to happen, unless these randoms are better than the official delivery drivers. Right? Today we already have a difference between standard UPS/Fedex services and the Sure/Smart Posts. At the last leg if the delivery doesn't work, the shipper has to figure out where it is geographically, then find the Post Office # and call the local and talk to someone that doesn't do this type of Customer Service job routinely vs one 1-800 # to track from start to finish with your flagship services. IMO this any random person can deliver your package could be factor worse than Sure/Smart, whoever sets up this "community delivery" system they have to act like how UPS/Fedex standard services work today, they need at a singular level to handle answering and getting results to the shipper timely and not pass the buck to the delivery person, since the shipper would have no chance figuring out who that is and following up. This is all further chipping away at good jobs vs contractor by the minute jobs. Regulated business vs non-regulated, as-if regulations were made for no good reason, they were, because if nothing happened in the past, they wouldn't have made regulated laws for it. So my long term vision on these contractor by the minute jobs is in time something heinous will happem, be national news and then America will go "Oh yeah that's right, that is why we made laws decades ago in these industries". It seems nice an Utopian though, fellow man helping out fellow man. [/QUOTE]
