[QUOTE="worldwide, post: 1363048, member: 2193"] why anything over 3 cubic feet? UPS is implementing dimensional weight on all ground packages, including SurePost, starting Dec 26. As an example, a package that is 12x12x12 is now priced at its actual weight. Once the new dimensional weight rules go into effect, that size package will dim out at 9 lbs. Think of how many 12 cube boxes out there weigh 3 - 7 lbs. You think customers will pay 9 lbs for that just to get UPS service? I would expect that many lighter weight packages will be diverting to Priority Mail, especially in light of the announcement that the USPS is implementing a price DECREASE on Priority Mail in September. If your route is mainly residential deliveries expect some changes in 2015... [/QUOTE]
