[QUOTE="TUT, post: 1296264, member: 29298"] Lets talk about relabels and Express. Perhaps there were an inordinate amount during peak. To me there is one major flaw with Express labels vs any other and that is embedded ship date in the bar-code. What that means is the ship date has to match the day the driver is picking up, if not a relabel occurs, no one else but Express has this problem. Now throw in crunch time and weekends that don't normally happen and you get a lot more labels not date matching. UPS and Fedex Ground don't have to deal with this nonsense because the day they first scan the package that is when the package is on the clock, the date isn't embedded. So when Fedex states there was a lot of bad labels, it is a symptom of a problem they have created themselves to a large degree by how they created their system. I've been bit by this one more than once. Sometimes you handle it, sometimes I have to redo, it isn't pretty and causes stress on us. [/QUOTE]
