[QUOTE="cnwinger, post: 4536444, member: 80988"] I figured I might ask some UPS employees to see if anyone has encountered this before. Basically USPS in my area will not deliver packages. Any package that UPS SurePost transfers to USPS just results in a note telling me to pick it up at the post office, which is a 22 mile round trip. This is obviously not ideal. First, I tried to correct this with the companies sending the shipments. Amazon struggled with this at first, but now everything seems to come form either UPS Ground of Prime Delivery. Target, however, told me there was no way for them to choose a default shipping option to always use UPS Ground. They also couldn't switch my default carrier to FedEx. Nothing they could do apparently. Next, I contacted UPS about the MyChoice service. I was told that although I could pay to upgrade a specific shipment from UPS Surepost to UPS Ground, there was no way to set a default option on my account to always use UPS Ground. I would gladly pay to upgrade each one by default, but apparently that's not an option. Again, not ideal to have to manage tracking of packages and upgrade individually. That also wouldn't cover things sent to me by others. Is there any option I might have through UPS to avoid the transfer to USPS for final delivery? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
