It's obvious that UPS failed ... that goes without saying.Your humor gets less funny the more you post !!
UPS failed so admit it
The shippers could take a bag of turd and tape a dime to it and UPS would guarantee delivery
The business structure has limits and is due to running lean and mean with the recession in our rear view mirror
. I wish this were true. Unfortunately it's kind of like trying to teach a 10 year old dog new tricks. Not likely to happen. Even though you show it and show it and show it. Just won't learnI personally think this PR problem will result in smoother peak for some years to come. Until people forget that is. I think more people and shippers will make a better attempt at shipping earlier. Once burned twice shy.

To mindlessly blame UPS without doing analysis of the components and looking for systemic solutions is simply bitching.
UPS is not going to increase their capacity for 4 or 5 days peak volume - that's just plain stupid.
And believe me, the shippers like Amazon are not going to pay for that capacity.
Looking at the fulfillment system, of which UPS is a component, is a fundamentally stronger approach with a greater chance of success.
However, if you want to whine and bitch like little girlie men, then BC is here for you as well.

I know we do some of this, but what about building more dedicated loads at the fulfillment centers; instead of running all this volume through the hubs?

Perhaps UPS should make their plans next peak based upon a number of packages that will be accepted from the largest shippers each day of peak and then refuse to accept any number above that from the shippers.
You still feel that way now?As I've said before on here, years ago I actually heard a feeder supe talking to a customer on the phone, "We wished you wouldn't ship so much stuff. We don't have the capacity for it".
I wanted to bolt across the counter and smack him.
I understand it is therapeutic to get all emotional and release anger and frustrations. I do it too but at some point, you have to get back to reality and the business at hand.BOTTOM LINE
The CEO and Board of Directors have taken every employee (union and non-union) and wrung every drop of blood, sweat, and tears we had in us.
THEY STILL FAILED
THEY ARE ACCOUNTABLE
I'm ashamed of these headlines and know that every finger is pointed at ATLANTA not at the hardest working union employees in the business !!
You still feel that way now?
All involved = 1) Buying customer 2) Shipper 3) UPSers ?No. Now I want to smack ALL involved in this abortion. Sorry for the phrasing.

I will have to take your word on that (locally) for this peak.We were fu**ed starting cyber weekend. This is more than a 4 or 5 day issue.
