[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 862624, member: 927"] People should keep in mind that Surepost is an economy ground service. It is lower cost, less frills, and a lower margin for UPS. FedEx already had SmartPost and it was made to compete with that service. It is not logical to think that this is due to the greedy shareowner. The shareowner would be happier if the packages remained in the more profitable ground segment. Its the customer that doesn't want to pay the price for ground. Could this be improved? I think so. I have heard the stories of driving by a Surepost address to deliver a ground package. That's a dumb move. I think our systems should be smart enough to figure that out. In the mean time, customers want the lower cost shipping option. If UPS doesn't respond, we will see the package to to FedEx. That's why Surepost is there. [/QUOTE]
