[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1254043, member: 43436"] If you're referring to SurePost packages, UPS is acting as a consolidator in participating in the USPS's Parcel Post program; shippers are paying UPS to transport their packages, and UPS transports these packages to local post offices near delivery and then pay the USPS to make the final mile delivery. UPS is the USPS's consumer. Right before Christmas, we had a local post office refuse to accept SurePost packages because they did not have the capacity to handle them at that moment in time. If you're referring to non-SurePost packages... there's very few and most post offices use to refuse them. I find it ironic they get their uniforms delivered from UPS, given that it costs them virtually nothing to have them shipped in-house but that's the vendor's choice. Vendor can probably overcharge them on shipping that way... [/QUOTE]
