I thought USPS was only getting rural delveries and small packages?

[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 579663, member: 4886"] Mainebrown, Distance from the building doesn't determine weather it's a UPS Basic or USPS basic, it's based on the zip code of the recipient, if they live in a zip that is designated for USPS delivery, then that's how it gets delivered. Also, as a side point, up til 3/2/09 FDX delivered virtually all the LL Bean pkgs, (esp the green bags). Now about 40K pkgs per day are processed and given to UPS, where these pkgs are processed by Teamster hourlies in the hub, moved from the hubs to the ctrs by teamster driviers and processed again by Teamster hourlies in the preload, and handled and delivered by a Teamster to the Post Office. If we didn't offer Basic to LL Bean, they wouldn't have switched due to the additional cost it would have been to utilize UPS for all final mile deliveries. Now, what's better, before virtually nothing with UPS, or now, most everything with UPS? [/QUOTE]
