[QUOTE="But Benefits Are Great!, post: 394676, member: 15794"] [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana] I seriously thought of the same thing when I suggested the time change. I BELIEVE (as in no hard facts to support it) that the vast majority of our business customers are 8am opens. Obviously there are exceptions. I seriously don’t know – what percentage of our customers demand, absolutely need a late pickup? What percentage of UPS business is this? For the sake or argument, (truly, I don’t know) say it is 3%. We are revolving the schedule, timing, life of all UPS employees & customers for 3% of our business? Does that make sense? Let FedEx have them. [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]Not specific at all to UPS, but a general business theory, usually on page one of the book “How To Run A Business” is this – When you try to make everyone happy giving everyone exactly what they want, you usually disappoint the majority. [/FONT][/COLOR] [FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]I like this idea – it would increase volume, income – but I don’t believe we’d make any money on it.
