Sure Post is killing driving jobs!

[STFXG]

That's true. Both services were pitched as being used to handle smalls. Envelopes and small items. Shippers figured out its cheap and have been taking advantage. Can't blame them...

Hoax is just using your words. Once you get to know him, you will love and appreciate his wickedly wonderful sense of humor. Ok. So, at least, I do.

Kinda thought I was using his words as well. I usually come here to agitate. Perhaps it is working.

Our customer is the shipper but I agree with you.
I hate to see an e-mail for something I ordered with a Surepost service level.
That is why I am a Prime Amazon member and order probably 90% through Amazon.

The "our customer is the shipper" argument doesn't hold water.

I don't know about water but they're the ones that keep us in business.
You seem to have some emotional relationship with your delivery customers.
They'll throw you under the bus for a dollar a package.
It's simple math to our customers and the technology and logistical services provided to our shippers don't really work for consignees.
I think UPS makes concessions to cost and efficiencies to our larger consignees. If we do not, then that is not smart business.

Upstate said I could stay ... I think it is a trial period and I'm on thin ice.

Shippers don't randomly send stuff to people. I'm pretty sure it has to be ordered by someone.

If you want to build your case, please do so.
I'd be interested in it.

Good point but this time of year you do what it takes to get the job done.

 

[PASinterference]

Tha reason you had a single surepost package is because the consignee was forcasted to have a reg package and it didnt make it. the regular ups pkg will show up in a day or two.

Seems like "you" should be doing what it takes no matter what time of year. Certainly some odd posts coming from the Upstate camp lately. Everything ok?

Looks like it is time to use a pressure brush to get that dog turd off your boots.

I've found a car wash on route to take care of that problem a time or two.... hard to parallel park next to a stall

People are free to get upset with me, but someone needs to help with the double-standard issue. Had another poster said some of the things Captain-Post-Alot has been saying lately, they would get reprimanded by him. I simply feel that the job should be done the same all year. Of course, I am different than most.

Most of us do the job the same 11 months outta the year. For one month anything goes.

FedEx Holiday Delivery Fail: Contract Employee Ditches 435 Packages After Panicking (VIDEO)
