[QUOTE="hoser, post: 140301, member: 6357"] Correct, the agreement is primarily to move cargo from A to B. Up in Canada for my AM delivery run, I'd deliver one USPS express shipment (filled out on a form I've never seen before) once a week. One thing we should consider is that the only organization that offers this flat rate box is the post office, that is, an entitity not out to make profit. I think it's unfair to charge the same for a box with 10 pieces of paper than a box with half an auto transmission. Clients wouldn't appreciate paying the same to move something from LA-SF than LA-NY. This would further depreciate the rate structure that exists today, which is based on dim-weight. Yes, this is a good idea, but should only be implemented if UPS is deseperate for volume. As the old saying goes, if the system ain't broke, don't fix it. Because USPS has monopoly on mail and courier companies must markup their express overnight rates by $3. [/QUOTE]
