[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 996653, member: 12570"] We used to do this a long time ago. Freight would be held and then released on the scheduled delivery day. For example, if I sent something 2 Day Air from Boston to Philly it would get to Philly overnight but would sit for a day. UPS quickly figured out that it was more cost effective to clean out the system on a daily basis. Yeah, the customer received a service level they weren't paying for, but this did not occur often enough to make holding them cost effective. [/QUOTE]
