[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 771370, member: 927"] Here is some info on Basic (at least what I remember) It is a low priced serviced (no frills) for only certain shippers. Its a contract service and I believe only offered for certain zip codes. These are either new shippers or shipper who would divert volume if we didn't offer it. Again, its a contract service and not a general service offering. As was stated, the package is picked up, transported, and deliverd to the USPS by Teamsters. Yes, its an extra day and directed to shippers who say that time in transit is not important, price is. Does it save cost in every case? No... As was mentioned, sometimes there is another package at that house. Sometimes there is one next door. Remember though that the basic label is put on at time of shipping. We do not know at that point what other packages will exist for that neighborhood. Maybe one day, the systems will change the service from basic to regular ground after shipping. These are the facts as I know them. The thought of a conspiracy here is just silly. P-Man [/QUOTE]
