[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 751244, member: 4886"] DDU is for Destination Delivery Unit - aka local Post Office. We've had Basic now for awhile where we deliver some pkgs to the DDU (local Post office). UPS has tested out Flexible access returns (reverse basic) for a few customers over the past 6-10 months and it is now being rolled out as more of a general service offering. This will complement our current returns service. Customers can now take pkg and bring it to any UPS injection point (customer counter, Authorized reseller (aka Staples), UPS Store, UPS Drop Box, UPS driver). The customer can also bring it to any USPS injection point, their mail carrier, their mail box, the USPS mail box, the local USPS facility etc. UPS drivers will then get the pkg from the USPS mostly at the DDU's, but some will make it to the BMC's (Bulk Mailing center - equivalent to our hubs). Then UPS will transport the pkg back to customer using our hub\fdr and pkg network. Now that Flex access is being introduced, we should start seeing within a few months a lot of returns from the Post Office and with about 20K post offices, even a few per location will mean significant new volume for UPS.
