[QUOTE="rje, post: 958719, member: 40978"] If a UPS truck is going to a home anyway, why doesn't it drop off a SurePost package addressed to that home? The answer has to do with the sorting process. SurePost packages get sorted to the 5-digit level, no finer. Sure, UPS could look down the list for a 5-dgit zip every day, and pull out SurePost packages going to the same house as a UPS Ground package, but that would be just one more step in the sorting process that would add costs everywhere, every day, for very little gain. Net net, UPS decided it's not worth adding that extra step, and I have no doubt they're right. [/QUOTE]
