[QUOTE="rje, post: 958723, member: 40978"] UPS Sales Guy, When you say UPS still has the right to deliver any SurePost volume on UPS trucks, do you mean that UPS can deliver those packages directly to the home, or only to the local post office? My understanding is that UPS may NOT deliver them directly to the home. It could with UPS Basic, but not with SurePost. That's my understanding, but I'll defer to you if you insist it's otherwise.
