[QUOTE="UnconTROLLed, post: 869655, member: 18708"] All surepost and smartpost are , to UPS, are ways for UPS to continue to put it's name out there without actually incurring the costs (or shall we say entire costs) of the packages. Cheap advertising, less cost per pkg, and a way for UPS to convey to the public "cheap pricing", so when it comes time to spend the money on other services, they will fall in line. Also the shippers involved are probably getting savvy bulk deals (online, catalog etc), which they can then pass some of that onto the buyer as added incentive to shop through them. That is economic reality - people want to spend less. UPS is making billions every quarter in profit, to sit here and blame a driver for the high cost of a package is not an accurate measure. The fact is that as long as FedEx continues to raise its rates, so will UPS. The prices will race to the bottom only when economic conditions promote. [/QUOTE]
