[QUOTE="TUT, post: 2235905, member: 29298"] Give it time... 6 days is on the table for both small package carriers already. As you have read, some of that is now spilling down to the stations. I assume my words feel threatening to some. Thing is USPS is doing weekends and has been for quite some time now. Is it easy for them or ideal? I didn't say it was. But it is putting pressure on both small package carriers to come up with something to compete with. We all know no one entity can really handle all of Amazon's biz well, that is all that is happening here. If you took USPS out as the only carrier to handle Amazon on the weekends and inserted UPS as the exclusive carrier, you would have the same complaints. That isn't the point. That's another discussion not all the relevant to carriers moving towards working weekends as a regular day. You then mention the "have it now" generation, yes that is out there, they have unrealistic requests, but they point to uber and entities like that of thinking outside the box. Their words though do make it back to Marketing depts and they work on trying new things to satisfying customer needs and trends if at all possible. What I'm saying is that I feel confident that operating under the same operational guidelines today, but instead for 6 and 7 days a week is something your company is more set up to do vs many other pie in the sky requests. Moving product constantly does improve delivery times overall, improves perishable shipping, it brings positives to your customers. I hope for your sakes that additional people hired to help alleviate 6 and 7 day shipping demands. [/QUOTE]
