How does the company recover from massive stop rolling?

I think my daughter can get same day delivery in the Dallas area if she orders by something like 10:00 a.m.---She gets Saturday and Sunday delivery also.

Obviously this is their tactic, not a good one. But this is how they hope to fix the problem.

UPS customers demand answers as packages go undelivered

The customers gambled and lost.

I know of at least 1 hr person going to "Boston" next week to help out. Other hr people are heading to other areas. We're doing just fine, here. Preload wrapping up fine for last week or so.

Folk still don't understand how the system becomes overwhelmed. They are still ordering online like no tomorrow. No end in sight. Once you go over the rolling stop line it is hard to recover.

Shippers continue to promise deliveries with no delays at peak. They need to start being more honest to customers.

Plus the idiots at the 800# keep telling people they can pick up their packages, no matter where it is in the system.

@Turdferguson will have their package ready and waiting for them.

He's just a seasonal, he knows nothing.

Management spent their entire Sunday delivering rolled work from last week out of their cars today in my area.

Big grievance

UPS could throttle it back also, or warn about potential delays.

yes, yes, melt down, our plan on demonizing Amazon to our shareholders is going well *raps fingers evilly*

 

[MrBrown]

Just curious----how long would it have taken you to run those 40 stops? I may have considered ignoring their messages, staying out and getting as many of those 40 stops delivered as I could before heading back.

Maybe an hour and a half as it was a tight area. I delivered a big box of wine and a couple large stops in my way back to the building

 

[UnconTROLLed]

Doing my part to order as much cheap online crap as possible and split it into many shipments since it's free. Make stopcounts great again, roll those trailers

 

[UnconTROLLed]

If we all pitch in, collectively we can make a difference

Why should online consumers care whether you guys can handle the volume or not? That's your problem----not theirs.

Run Forrest, run.

Not my problem at all. I laugh at rolled volume. I could care less if you do not receive your stuff.

Especially the closer to Christmas they order.
