[QUOTE="worldwide, post: 1028756, member: 2193"] There is no such thing as a "2DA envelope" in the current UPS supply inventory. Years ago, envelopes were segregated as Next Day Air and 2nd Day Air and came in red and blue colors, respectively. That is no longer the case - Express envelopes can be used for next day, 2 day or worldwide express services. Years ago, there was no weight limit on letters - what ever documents that could be fit in the envelopes received a flat rate based on zone; now there is an 8 oz limit on express envelopes to receive the "letter' rate. Customers can still use the express envelopes to ship documents that weight more than 8 oz, but they will be charged based on the actual weight. From the UPS tariff: "Letter Rates for domestic shipments are available only for UPS Express Envelopes containing correspondence, urgent documents, or electronic media, with an actual weight of eight ounces or less. UPS Express® Envelopes containing items other than those listed or weighing more than eight ounces will be assessed the corresponding rate for the applicable weight. For international shipments, Express Envelopes may be used only for documents of no commercial value (which may include electronic media in some countries), with an actual weight of eight (8) ounces or less. UPS Express Envelopes containing other items, or weighing more than eight ounces will be assessed the corresponding Pak Rates." You may be making reference to this statement in the tariff: "The shipper shall comply with the requirements of the Private Express Statutes (PES) when using UPS 2nd Day Air A.M.® and UPS 2nd Day Air® services." The PES created a governmental monopoly on the carriage and delivery of letter mail, and ensured that this monopoly can be enforced. In 1979 the Postal Service authorized the delivery of extremely urgent letters outside the USPS; this has given rise to delivery services such as FedEx and UPS's express mail services. These letters must either cost at least the greater of $3 or twice what First Class (or Priority) mail service would cost, or they must be delivered within strict time limits or otherwise lose value.
