[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 507789, member: 7966"] Good question ... I'm assuming NOT. Exception packages usually incur additional cost to the shipper so those packages would be held until they could be corrected and then put out for delivery. The immediate return is for packages that simply were not deliverable in 3 days in areas where DR is not allowed or appropriate. This seems reasonable to me but you are right that change management will be contentious as first. I have been in UPS Buildings across the country (roll-out of Point Of Sale systems) and it is absolutely ridiculous at the number of packages stored. San Jose comes to mind as the worst that I saw. The retains cage at that facility was at least 200 ft long by 10 feet wide and 8 feet high. We had to lose money on just about every package in those storage cages. This should reduce cost of storing these packages and re-handling them and reduce the amount of time that it takes to find packages that are held. Keep in mind that the customers that will be inconvenienced are the consignee not the decision making shipper. [SIZE=3][B]The more I think about ... the more I like this![/B][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
