[QUOTE="worldwide, post: 1342972, member: 2193"] Sounds like a smart business idea that is a winner for all involved: -Customer gets the option to get the package a day earlier -UPS service provider gets an additional stop -UPS gets an additional source of revenue I've read countless posts on here about the Teamsters and drivers complaining that work is being taken away from them and given to the USPS (despite the fact ALL SurePost packages are picked up, sorted and delivered by a Teamster driver-some to the consignee, some to the USPS). Here's an option that brings some business back into the system to be delivered by a Teamster driver. That's good. As the name implies, UPS My Choice gives the choice to the customer how/when they would like their package delivered. Although the shipper made the choice to use SurePost (no doubt due to low price and the ability to sell "free" shipping to its customers), the receiver can not make the choice to get the package a day sooner at a cost that is more than likely much less than they would have paid for a pure end-to-end UPS Ground shipment. That's good. Again, sounds like a smart business decision by UPS to increase revenue, increase value to shareholders and increase work for Teamster drivers. [/QUOTE]
