[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1080129, member: 43436"] The technology reduces the number of packages, yes, but does not "keep [it] from happening." I have a regularly scheduled delivery from SurePost (Medco, delivered biweekly), plus whatever else I order off the Internet that's shipped through that method. I can count the number of times on one hand that my UPS driver has delivered these packages -- despite the fact that my neighbor (whose porch is literally a short walk from mine) runs an at-home business and receives UPS shipments daily. Nor does UPS have technology, or intends to have technology, that forecasts a SurePost package to my house on Monday, and UPS package to my house on Tuesday, and decides to hold the SurePost package for delivery by the UPS driver (with the UPS package) on Tuesday, thus giving me the same service I would've received with SurePost... without the USPS fees attached.
