No wonder Fedex, DHL and USPS can copy the UPS model so easily.
Forget your Take Charge Program...how about not disclosing movements and processes???????????

Think!~!

Not sure what you are saying? Are you saying UPS doesn't disclose movements and processes or that they shouldn't? The origin, depart/arrive scans don't tell the whole story but do give info to the progress.

An origion scan is when the package arives at the hub is unloaded off the package car and is sorted to its outbound trailer, it is scanned after unload and shows an origin scan. Pick-up pieces should not be scanned at pickup unless it is an ASD that someone hand you not at a scheduled pick-up. If origin scan were a pick-up scan less than 1% of packages would have one.

Your package is an a trailer headed to its destination hub, when it gets there it will show an arival scan as it hits the lot, next and sometimes the next day, depending on the arival time of the trailer, will be out for delivery, meaning it was scanned on the morning preload and loaded into a package car.

Once you see that scan then it will be delivered that day.

Time in transit does not count the weekends, however UPS will use the weekends to move packages like your so they do not have to use airplanes.

Hope that clears up your concerns.

Even they would not "move" on the weekend.

There are some packages that move on the weekend, mostly by rail and air. Rail loads are in transit over the weekend and feeders is moving them from the rail yards on Sunday. Many aircraft loads are inbounded on Sunday night also, but don't get unloaded until Monday am.

And here I thought it was Fred S of Federal Express who invented the Hub & Spoke concept, and later introduced other inovations, and UPS took them from him.

And wasn't it the Postal Service that invented the Zone Improvement Plan (ZIP code) and spent years getting the public use to it. Which UPS then borrowed.

And when we expanded to Europe, and started with Germany, didn't we benefit from DHL having already paved the way in their homeland.
