[QUOTE="soberups, post: 862622, member: 14668"] What I was told is that, in order to qualify for Surepost, a shipper had to have us deliver an equal or greater number of packages ourselves. Supposedly, this was intended to capture at least some revenue from shippers who would not have used us to begin with. What I am seeing however, is that we may not be losing any [I]volume[/I] but we are losing [I]hours[/I]. We are keeping more of the high-density urban volume, while the rural stuff is what the post office gets. There have been days where I have dropped off 45 minutes to an hour's worth of extended stops to the post office (what really bugs me is when I already have stops for those same addresses but I have to leave them anyway) while "keeping" 5 or 10 minutes worth of work in town.
