[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 671913, member: 4886"] Satellite; A few points, some customers demanded to have a service that was a lower cost alternative to our ground. FDX offers smart post where 100% of pkgs are delivered by the USPS, in some cases they deliver to the DDU (Local Post Office). in others they deliver to the BMC (Bulk Mailing Ctr - aka hub). For our basic, we listed roughly 1/2 the zip codes where 25% of the population lived that is very rural. The average cost per piece to deliver a residential pkg is high due to the miles between stops etc. By deliverying all these USPS Basic pkgs to the post office, we reduce the number of stops and saving time (on average). Besides the time saved with a driver day. We also have other cost reductions for basic. We don't give claims on Basic, we have more liberal DR policies on Basic, we don't commit day for these pkgs. Now your route may be different where it does cost more to go to the post office. But on average, it's far cheaper for UPS. Any one can take a great decision that works most of the time, and find times when it doesn't make sense to do in one area. I think that's what we have here in your area. [/QUOTE]
