[QUOTE="upandcomer, post: 633325, member: 13387"] Actually 99% of the time this is completely wrong. Each location of a shipper has its own shipper number, sometimes multiple shipper numbers. Amazon, QVC have tons of account numbers. Usually what you are seeing is large companies just have warehouses strategically put all over the country. A shipper number is only allowed to have one pick-up address. A third party logistics company isn't going to take 500 packages to the counter or a drop box. So they have to be using different shipper numbers. There are new systematic procedures in place like Zone Adjustment Processing (ZAP) that help deter shippers who incorrectly fill out labels or just outright defrauding us. Many shippers who do not have return service will bill a package from themselves to themselves and then send it to a person half way across the country thus making it eligible for a higher zoned rating. ZAP will zone it correctly. [/QUOTE]
