[QUOTE="Coldworld, post: 139797, member: 4777"] but we are cheaper than their parcel post service, sometimes by alot. I think a flat rate box would help this company. It wouldnt and couldnt be used for most stuff, but it would help take more volume from the post office. Many customers would use ups even though it was more expensive just to stay out of the post office pathetically long lines. I really doubt ups would loose money on something like that. Even though they would loose money in some zones, they would make up in more volume and this would still be a small percentage of actual volume. Look at most packages in a package car, except for clothing bags from catalogue companies, most all parcels are larger than the post offices flat rate boxes. The only thing that is helping out the post office now is ebay and those flat rate boxes, these are two areas ups should be targeting. The ups basic service is taking a large chunk from the usps, might as well take the rest of it also. They have enough to do with all of the letters. [/QUOTE]
