Are they "given" back from the PO or never given to the PO to begin with?

It's interesting you guys are saying all this because I can't tell you guys how many of these black labels end up BACK on my truck. If my peak route is 265 stops, at least 80 are stuff given back from the PO.

I had a single sure post today, but I figured it was because both neighbors had a stop as well.The way it was explained to us was if a consignee had a non-Surepost in the system it would divert any Surepost packages also in the system to be delivered directly to the consignee. It is also supposed to divert Surepost packages if the consignee has 3 or more regardless if they have any non-Surepost. It is not supposed to divert single Surepost packages but on occasion it does.

It is not supposed to divert single Surepost packages but on occasion it does. Only because one is forecast within the above parameters but does not show up.
We weren't told that part but it does make sense. I guess you can stick around come February.
Our customer is the shipper but I agree with you.
I hate to see an e-mail for something I ordered with a Surepost service level.
That is why I am a Prime Amazon member and order probably 90% through Amazon.
I was at our local Post Office branch Monday to pick up a certified letter. The clerk and I started talking about SurePost---she told me that they absolutely hate it. They are not equipped to deal with it and would much rather we keep our own work.
Seems that if the "behest/insistence" of the Union came into play, there would be no surepost at all. Anybody ever wonder about how the customer feels about all their boxes being left out in the rain by the mailman? First thing they see on the label is UPS. Automatically our fault. I am sure nobody has complained to UPS about these poor deliveries. I am sure UPS would never quietly try to switch things around so the boxes are being delivered by drivers that are trained how to properly driver release said boxes. No, it can only be that Union said they have to give a few boxes back to us poor drivers.It is my understanding that these packages are the result of filtering technology implemented by UPS at the behest/insistence of the Union to try and get these "density" stops back on the UPS driver.

I guess your response indicates that I may be right. And bless you to you poor whatever you are.Bless your heart you poor driver.
Hoax is just using your words. Once you get to know him, you will love and appreciate his wickedly wonderful sense of humor. Ok. So, at least, I do.I guess your response indicates that I may be right. And bless you to you poor whatever you are.
The USPS is losing billions each year and trying to stay relevant and wants more package volume and yet their employees "hate it" and would rather this work not come to them. Progressive thinkers at the USPS-they want job security but without the work. Nice gig if you can keep the scam going...
My question would be, is the USPS making any money on Surepost and Smartpost? If not, are they going to raise the price for the service? If so, can UPS or FedEx launch a lower priced alternative?
