[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 377704, member: 927"] I'm not sure what SSI stands for but... It was intended as a "contract" service for certain consignees. They were supposed to get all their packages delivered together (air and ground). As was mentioned, it has a "scheduled" delivery time "window". That delivery time was "supposed" to be worked out between the center and customer. It was intended to accomplish two things... One, recognize that consignees are responsible for making shipping decisions in many cases. Second, it goes after something FedEx cannot do. They cannot deliver air and ground together because of their two networks. They also cannot tell their ground drivers what time to deliver a package because they are supposed to be contractors. This is what the service was designed to be. P-Man [/QUOTE]
