[QUOTE="racerx, post: 56487"] Ups gal, I think you are a bit confused. The Dell packages that we have been referring to in this thread were totally UPS package moving via our regular ground service. Dell decided to move all of this volume to the USPS we will no longer (well, at least until Dell comes to their senses and gives it back to us) handle any part of these particular shipments. What you have described is UPS Basic service. That is where a very large shipper processes their low priority ground packages through Worldship and they are picked up by a UPS driver at the same time as regular ground and air shipments. We move them through our system until we get to the final delivery center. Some of these packages (the ones with the highest last mile delivery cost, such as super-rural residential shipments) are then dropped of at the local post office for them to make the last mile delivery. UPS Basic is a very limited service offering, reserved only for high volume, low value, shippers. We do not offer tracking and insurance on these packages and we charge less than ground prices. This service was designed to take catalog and internet business away from the post office. We would not want to cannibalize our ground business because the profit margins on ground is higher than basic. [/QUOTE]
