[QUOTE="worldwide, post: 5471487, member: 2193"] In the DoorDash case, UPS is not involved in having the package picked up and transported by a non-UPS employee. It's the customers decision how they get their package into the UPS network. The consumer is making that decision based on the options the company paying for the return has given them (i.e. free DIY drop off at UPS Store, drop, hand to a driver or pay to have someone come to your house to get it). How is a customer deciding to take a prepaid package to the UPS Store themselves any different than the customer deciding to pay someone to take it to the UPS Store for them? I don't think that the Teamsters can dictate to a consumer how they get their shipment to the UPS Store. If I am paying for the transportation from my home/business to the UPS Store (as in the DoorDash example), it's my choice how I spend my money. Personally, I'd rather not pay more so I'll take the prepaid package to the store myself or use a drop box. Some consumers are willing to pay for it and since it's their money, it's their choice. At the end of the day, I don't think this service is really going to be that popular and it will have a very niche audience: customers who don't want to take the package to the UPS Store themselves and are willing to pay for it. Either way, the package gets in the system and is sorted, handled and, in most cases, delivered by a Teamster. [/QUOTE]
