[QUOTE="purplesky, post: 1244209, member: 23628"] This is a great and a necessary idea. This unrealistic peak season volume issue is only going to get worse as more people buy online LAST MINUTE every year going forward. With perfect weather nationwide UPS might be able to pull it off but we all know 1 bad storm can shut down a major UPS hub and kill peak for that hubs surrounding cities. If nothing-else shippers like Amazon should REMIND CUSTOMERS THROUGHOUT DECEMBER THAT WEATHER IN OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY CAN EFFECT SHIPPING COMMIT TIMES. SO ORDER EARLY. Its just ridiculous that the media is mainly blaming UPS for AMAZON service failures when Amazon ALREADY KNEW THAT MANY ORDERS TAKEN ON DEC. 23 HAD NO CHANCE TO MAKE IT BY XMAS. Also Amazons credit card services were delaying last minute orders on monday due to fraud alerts and that also caused last minute packages not getting loaded in time to get to the UPS hubs. [/QUOTE]
