[QUOTE="Scuba Steve, post: 2165374, member: 51466"] The closed threads were not me. There are a lot of people who have experienced the same thing though. I grew up around UPS. It's a shame what the company was and what it has become. I'll respond though. There is some misinformation from some of you. There is a difference between Express and Priority mail. USPS will even deliver Express on Sunday's in most Metro Markets. USPS is taking away e-commerce volume from UPS. They are doing it with lower rates and the service levels have been on par with UPS. Remember of UPS is 99% effective everyday at delivering packages, that's roughly 150,000 packages that have a problem daily. USPS is going after large shippers with better rates and winning. They are buying larger vehicles and deliver on Sunday's. Doing this at an operating profit.
