[QUOTE="Storm723, post: 356051, member: 7689"] A person wants to ship a package. Prior to doing so they require the following information: [LIST] [*]The shipper [*]The destination [*]The weight is measured [*]The size [/LIST]That information is not only right on the shipping label but it is also within the bar code and 2 dot matrix smart square that you see on every shipping label. Based on what has been processed at the original locations all over the world, UPS can forcast volume. The forcasted volume vs. the actual volume tends to vary daily. Maybe a small percent of this volume requires some sort of clerk address correction. You can also imagine how many people print out their shipping label, afix it to thier package and then wait a day or two (a week) before actually getting it to the UPS drop off or UPS store. I don't however, think that this would account for the mass differences between what is seen on the planned volume/forcast and the forcasted bulk sheet. I think the issue may come in when a shipper ships a mass quantity and labels each package "1 of 1" when it is really "1 of 50". AND if 500 shippers do this....for whatever reason....eventually it becomes a nightmare!! lol [/QUOTE]
