[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1320697, member: 14668"] It reduces unnecessary package handling and minimizes customer contact time. The UPS method is to load multiple stops onto a handcart, go into the store, unload the packages for that store into a line on the floor, scan, then obtain a signature. In most cases you will have to then re-stack the packages to clear floor space, and the process of lining them up and scanning them gives the customer time to interfere, inspect boxes, ask questions etc. My method is better. I scan all the packages in the package car while loading them in delivery order onto the handcart, and prerecord each separate stop. This allows me to be sure that I have every package for that address and that I know which consignees I have to deliver to. Upon arriving at the delivery point for each consignee, I place their packages in a pile, pull that stop out of prerecord, get a signature, and leave. The last stop I deliver to...which would be the heaviest and bulkiest one loaded on the bottom of the cart...gets their pile pushed up against the wall as I pull my handcart out from under it. Much easier than doing it UPS's way. [/QUOTE]
