[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 633068, member: 927"] Basic was designed as a "no frills" service to meet a demand from direct mailers. They did not want to pay for regular UPS service. There are multiple things they do not get. If memory serves me correctly it also includes: - No delivery scan - No insurance - No returns - One delivery attempt - Up to one extra day delivery time - No Guarantee I may be wrong about some of these things, but the concept is the same. While I can certainly understand the Teamster concern about "opening the door" for outsourcing, in this case we should look at the facts. These packages are picked up, sorted, and transported by Teamsters. They are delivered to the post office by a Teamster driver. In general (but not always as was expressed in this thread), the delivery cost made the service too expensive. Having the post office deliver the package at least made the service possible. So, what are the alternatives? Raise the rates and lose the business? Don't offer the service and lose the business? Take the packages at a loss? This is the best of a bad situation....
