[QUOTE="TUT, post: 806561, member: 29298"] The question about residential delivery charges is what does that rate represent? For example say a package cost an additional $2 to deliver it to a residence. That $2 should be covering all costs with a profit. What all carriers (except USPS) is saying is we don't want to do resi's and we want the post office to deliver it instead, why? What does the $2 represent? If this indeed is a money loser, why isn't the charge more, like $3? Why isn't the service charge at a point where the carriers in fact do want to go out and deliver them to a residence? That is how the other special services work. They want your insurance amount for example. Why is residential a mixed/confused bag? Why doesn't it's service charge excite the carriers to want people to choose it? With USPS closing 1000's of post offices over the next few years, shipping services to residences is going backwards. I don't like the calendar moving forward and services (all walks of life) moving backwards, feels like fail, feels 3rd world to me. Price residential charges where it excites the carriers. [/QUOTE]
