No, we don't get a discount. Customers are shocked when I tell them I have to pay the same rate they do. Seems like we would if we walked into a Customer Counter and showed our ID.
Only discount you get is by manipulating your package data(size weight, etc)
Of course I wouldn't condone it, or suggest it. Definitely don't send a 50lb box of paper and say its a letter.
During my orientation I was told there is no discout for shipping for UPS employees, because... (are you ready for this?) they figure between the wages and benifits we are compensated well enough.
You actually pay more than most of your customers to ship something. We actually pay the published rate, most customers that do any kind of volume get a discounted rate. How bad is that???

Duh, so take your stuff to one of them and have them ship it for you. Not trying to be mean but that's what I have to do, as our cust. counter is only open when I am out on route.
