[QUOTE="BigBrownSanta, post: 429771, member: 11097"] My take on the basic service is that it's the easiest 40 packages I deliver each day. I just wish there was a way to have the packages containerized in forever bags so that I could just make 3 or 4 scans rather than 40. Also, the shipper gets reduced rates to ship these packages. They don't pay to have us deliver these packages to 40 different addresses. Those 40 low-revenue packages probably generate the same revenue as delivering 10 regular ground pieces (just guessing). Another benefit is, the receiver of the package has the abilty to track their package until it gets to the post office (I think). That in itself is a good reason for a shipper to use the basic service. I know that I have ordered things off the internet and the only option available was the post office. You never know when your order is shipped and you never know where it's at once it's been shipped. I have had things not show up 30 days after the estimated delivery date. Called and had my credit card recredited, and 2 months later the item shows up in my mailbox. [/QUOTE]
