[QUOTE="worldwide, post: 791518, member: 2193"] Interesting. A UPS account getting hurt in the economy calls up their rep and says we need better rates or we are leaving and going to Fedex Smart Post since they are offering better rates for all our shipments. It appears the only service to respond to this is UPS Basic but from messages I have seen posted on this site and Teamster.net, the Teamsters don't want/allowt any packagaes over 10 pounds in the Basic system. A good chunck of the packages shipped from Harry & David are over 10 lbs. Guess who gets all the business due to this restriction? Non-union Fedex gets the business and the Teamsters lose packages previously picked up, sorted and delivered by Teamsters. No doubt that price played a part in this, but if the Teamsters don't allow heavier weight packages in the Basic system in a case where UPS will lose the business, how is that decision good for the Teamsters and UPS? Only the competition wins in this case. [/QUOTE]
