[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 647100, member: 12570"] How is [B]who[/B] saving money? The consignee is saving money because Basic is a reduced shipping option. The USPS is making money on the additional packages and UPS is making money from a revenue source that used to go primarily USPS. We are also saving money by having the USPO deliver the pkg the last leg. Yes, there will be instances where you will have other pkgs for the same address as the Basic you just left at the Post Office, but that is not always the case, and we save money on you not having to run off that "chaser". Basic is not going anywhere. It is not subcontracting. It is a cost effective way to service the customer while building a mutually advantageous relationship with the USPS. Of course, the rural carriers hate Basic, but that's their problem, not ours.:wink2: [/QUOTE]
