[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 650680, member: 927"] You are correct that I mixed a couple of things together. Let me clarify. First, as you said, UPS will raise its published pickup rates. There will then be three new options for these smaller customers to choose from: Day Specific Pickup where they get picked up on specific days. If they ask for three of less days, its cheaper than a regular pickup. On Route Pickup. This is basically the same as our current before 2:30 pickups. Dumb thing in my mind. There is no discount for the shipper at all and pickups are made on trace only. Then there is Smart Pickup. Its not like on call air. Its kind of the opposite. Each customer that signs up will have a notify by time. Lets say a customer has a notify by time of 3:00. If they don't ship a package by 3:00, a message will go to your DIAD taking the pickup off. Generally, the notify by time is one hour before the normal pickup time. The best case is you will know one hour before the pickup that its NOT going to be made. By the way, UPS has lots and lots of zero piece pickups. These are the customers that will look at these pickup options. P-Man [/QUOTE]
