[QUOTE="curiousbrain, post: 1160446, member: 31608"] Ok, so, I'm going to go through this again. First, my argument was not (and is not) about time allowances, and I never worked delivery, so any opinion I have on allowances is probably stupid and ill informed. Check on that. Secondly, what my argument [B]was[/B] is that the information about weight and dimensions is dependent upon the shipper; if you know any OMS, PT Sup, or anyone with access to ETT, ask them to look up any package in your EDD. What you will see is a list of arrival/departure scans, and probably other random information. On the left hand side, there will be blue arrows; click on one. From there, that will open a new window and it will show you a bit of "drill down" information, some of which will include weight and dimensions; guess what? It's probably wrong .. cycle through enough of the packages in your EDD, and you will find that some of that weight/dimensions is right, some of it is wrong. Is that a UPS conspiracy? No, it is a problem with the "inflow" of information that comes from the shippers, into the UPS system (e.g. DPS, EPD, DMS, etc). Also, if UPS knew the weight/dimensions/etc of every single package, they would probably screw you a lot more than they are doing now. [/QUOTE]
