You’re a dinosaur if you think service matters. Times have changed it’s just the world we live in now.

Hell ups doesn’t even want to actually deliver to inidividual homes anymore. That’s why they created access points.
I’m talking quality of service, not service level.

Me too. No one cares.

If someone wants to be a local or small regional carrier and sell quality of service. Maybe. On a large level. No way ain’t happening.
Put your pkg on porch off to the side. (Out of sight-ish) in a dry spot against the house. Or halfway under the mat so it doesn’t blow away. Put in a bag if porch is wet. Vs on the bottom step in the rain like you often see. Ring or knock (much of the competition doesn’t). Reduces theft.

That’s the quality that puts you above the rest. If the consignee doesn’t request UPS, the shipper might just go with the cheapest service. Don’t dumb yourself down to the cheapest.

It used to be the norm for online merchants to give consumers the choice as to who they wanted to deliver their orders. Not anymore-----it is very hard to find an online merchant who still does this.

Does a little bit more than stockpiling six months’ worth of toilet paper
Yes it's all fun and games until you run out of toilet paper and have to bury your loved ones on the side of the road.

If the consignee sees no extra value by using the most expensive option (UPS), the shipper has no reason to use the most expensive option.

Just a request from Stewie. Please do not dispose of your used masks in the letter totes ! It is almost as bad or worse even than getting bottles with yellow liquid in them.
Those and gloves all over the parking lots of food stores.
Humans are gross and deserve to be killed off by Corona...
