Schools on fall break.

[ups1990]

Our local school district is now on fall break for the following 3 weeks. It's UPS policy not to hold a package for more than 10 days(not positive). This is the first year where the entire district is on the same school calendar. Instead of having hundreds of packages sent back to the shipper, why not work out a supplemental plan with district officials to have them delivered to one sight which would eliminate the shipper having to spend additional reshipping charges. Now this would bring back customer service and schools would have their supplies.

Don't you set something up with a janitor or secretary before this happens?

There'll be someone there sometimes who could receive stuff.

Fall break? Our schools just ended summer break a couple weeks ago...

We reroute all school deliveries to the school district headquarters when all the schools shut down. It's a large warehouse where they keep tons of stuff. Look into that for your area.

Yeah, I know! It seems like the kids just started school and now its fall break. Remember as a kid, when school began after labor day. The school year makes no sense now.
Around here we're told to return packages to shipper if the school is closed for more than two weeks. I know exactly what your talking about when you refer to the large warehouse, I'll bring it up to my center manager.

Same here. All ours goes to a maintenance bldg for vacations etc.

We future everything for the schools here when they are on break and store it in a trailer until school restarts. We don't send anything back to the shipper.

I find it hard to believe that the custodial or support staff also have 3 weeks off. Someone has to be there.

Have you ever tried to find a janitor in an empty school? They know ALL the best hiding places

 

[jimstud]

why are the schools ordering supplies to be delievered while they are closed ?

 

[UPSGUY72]

someone is going to be at the school I delivered stuff all summer to schools. Just becasue it's break doesn't mean everyone that works there is on it.

And the UPS driver does not??

Probably, but they aren't the same places.

Or maybe they are (wink, wink, nudge, nudge)!!!

What would you call a good hiding place in a school?

I would say my locker as that is where I spent most of my freshman year (not by choice).

It seems like every school I ever deliverd to had at least one hiding place for the janitors that was hidden in the boiler room back around the backside of some big boiler.

Under the stage.

And if the janitors weren't there to sign you could at least eyeball the centerfolds on the wall.

I see you've been there also

Shhh! The ladies may take offense if we talk about centerfolds.
