[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 1102694, member: 13921"] The guy in town opened his as an MBE franchise and switched to UPS store when they bought it. He said the change cost him money. He used to make money when people came in and wanted to use FE as their shipper, now he cannot offer that option. He has also said that the promotions that UPS advertises almost always cost him profit. On the other hand, he has seen his PO box rentals increase. UPS does promote them to medical salespeople that receive drug samples that require signatures. That was a suggestion that I made back when I was a preloader. We have plenty of salespeople that get sig required packages and many of them would be attempted 3 times. I suggested that UPS go to the shippers, point it out and suggest that they include a UPS store PO box as part of the job. The other advantage was that the address would stay the same even if there was turnover in the job. The sales guys at my center saw it as a win/win and said they would send it up the chain. [/QUOTE]
