[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 1027387, member: 12570"] I realize that the shipping isn't "free" and that the shipper recoups these costs elsewhere. How many of those LL Bean packages were Basic? I bet all 3 were. I am an infrequent online shopper but when I do I always choose the lowest cost shipping option, which is usually "free", unless it is something that I need in a timely manner. SurePost is a shipping option that UPS had to offer in response to SmartPost--to have ignored this option could have been disastrous. I am not a fan of SurePost. I watch the bags of SurePost come down the belt as we wrap up our cars. I would love to see those bags emptied and the packages delivered by UPS drivers; however, I also understand the mindset of the consumer and know that they are willing to wait a day or so if they can get their package for "free". Consumers have yet to figure out the returns process for SurePost packages as I pick up more and more RTS's at my UPS Store and MBE. SurePost is not going anywhere and the sooner the naysayers realize this the better off they will be. [/QUOTE]
