[QUOTE="TUT, post: 859191, member: 29298"] The package still has the full cost of transportation through the UPS network until final mile (my guess 75% of standard ground costs). If the price of Surepost was 50% less to the payor then standard UPS ground that package just lost 25% margin for UPS vs ground, but that is still better then the competition moving it instead. My guess is Surepost isn't 50% off, but probably closer to the cost of commercial ground with resi delivery tacked on for free via USPS. More like a 25% savings. vs Std Ground Residential. On SmartPost I believe Fedex doesn't take it to the first post office, but it isn't through the standard Fedex network like UPS is and it can get into the USPS system earlier then Surepost. Yes I do see the UPS advantage in that, but if SmartPost is cheaper then I get that as well. [/QUOTE]
