[QUOTE="AKCoverMan, post: 1501674, member: 17867"] Someone asked about why ship NDA across town or to next town over etc. We serve a metro area where NDA is committed for 1200, plus a large rural area where everything is committed to end of day. Ground shipped from city to rural area is guaranteed 1 day service and NDA from city to rural area is guaranteed 1 day service. Yes, both commits are exactly the same but NDA costs three times as much. But we still have to offer both services because some customers will just see the word "Ground" and assume it's going to take a week to get there. If they don't see the NDA option they will ship with Brand-X since they offer "overnight" service. I've seen this play out in real life. Picking up from a city customer shipping NDA to rural town 45 miles away. I pointed out that they can save $$$ shipping ground and that ground gets there the same time. She just looked at me and said "but that's real important, they need it tomorrow". There's a saying about leading a horse to water.... [/QUOTE]
