[QUOTE="chuchu, post: 902590"] They tell us to pick them up and write "AUDIT!" in large letters on the side of the pkg where the label is (preferably with a broad tip marker) so the auditors in the hubs can correct the shippers billing. Shippers who don't have any scales on the dock where they ship are a dead give away! One shipper on my route was sending "150 lb" pkgs next day air that when weighed at the center were actually 198-219 lbs each. They (the sups) said those WERE elgible to be shipped thru the air system but got a $50 ADDITIONAL charge added on in house. (I didnt know I could lift that much.) I was very happy when they started sending all those by Sonic Air-if you can imagine THAT bill! What is equally a pain is how much weight is stuffed into those "sure post" bags (AND NOT WEIGHED!) that we haul to the postal service docks. If you've got some part timers with good arm strength you can inherit some pretty heavy smalls bags! I'm going to start sheeting all those as special counts-ov 70s until they start weighing them and marking the weights on the bags. How do you like me now?! LOL:happy-very: [/QUOTE]
