[QUOTE="soberups, post: 456298, member: 14668"] OK, here's the deal; We have a building that is physically capable of processing 250,000 pkgs per day. When the snow hit, during the busiest week of the year, the drivers were simply unable to deliver 100,000 of the 250,000 pkgs that were dispatched. So the next day, you have 250,000 NEW packages coming in ON TOP of the 100,000 left over from the day before. Repeat this process for a week and all the sudden you have over half a MILLION undelivered packages crammed into every nook and cranny of the building. There were simply too many cubic feet of parcels for us to cope with. There are somply not enough drivers, not enough rental trucks and not enough parking spots for those trucks to handle what wound up snowballing into 700% of our normal delivery volume. To the original poster; Im sorry you didnt get your package. As a driver on the front lines of all this mess, I can assure you that we did every thing in our power to get the packages delivered. I am quite frequently critical of our management, but in this instance I can say that, given the weather, the roads and the timing, there simply wasnt a whole lot more that could have been done. It was the "perfect storm", hitting us at the absolute worst concievable time when we are already stretched to the breaking point. [/QUOTE]
