[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 766664, member: 18044"] We're not talking about true ground packages shipped as air packages. We're talking about an urgent air package with a time commitment sent by air service, that UPS decides behind the scenes to send by ground. Remember UPS (and their partners the Teamsters) are the ones that have had those huge legislative and advertizing campaigns claiming Fedex is dishonest because its pilots should be flying their air express packages all the way to the receivers' front doors. If a non-pilot in a truck delivers the package in its final leg, that supposedly means Fedex is not playing fair and should be spanked. - - - - What accounting headache? It's probably as simple as instructing the computer to charge the ground surcharge to all packages shipped to zone 1, 2, and 3 (or whatever), and the air surcharge to all the more distant zones. UPS makes distinctions between air and ground, comercial and residential, early commit and late commit, one zip code and another zip code, etc. all the time. It's just a matter of setting things up initially, then the computer does it automatically. [/QUOTE]
