[QUOTE="raceanoncr, post: 2155905, member: 6408"] Just, what might be considered a stupid question, what is the savings to go Surepost for a shipper? And, I really don't care, here, I didn't need package NOW, and didn't care how it came. Example: Ordered sumthin cross country. They shipped same day, via UPS Surpost. OK, again, I don't care. Didn't need. Traveled on all UPS points to hub, here. Sat here all weekend and Mon, it was driven across river to P.O. that delivers to my shack. Then was delivered next day by P.O. I tracked from origin to destination. UPS handled EVERYTHING except final delivery. Tell me, please, because I REALLY don't know. How much did this save the shipper, generally, in a situation like this, when the package car is driving right past house about two times a day and whatever driver had to drive clear into downtown P.O. just to deliver and P.O. then had to drive out to my house. Again, you can get all snarky here but I'm telling you, this Surepost erupted after I retired and I know nothing about it. And, again, I really don't care, am just curious. Is this REALLY a savings to shipper? Or customer, for that reason, too? [/QUOTE]
