SurePost issues

[upschuck]

They are screwing us out of jobs....big time.
I have a bulk stop that I used to have 70-80 a day. Now maybe I get 30. The rest is Sure post. Wtf??

Those aren't diverted back for UPS delivery to final dest? They lose money on commercial stops, since in would be the same price going to the PO as it would going to final dest, except we pay the PO money to deliver. I would guess.

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

We are supposed to keep the stop if there are 3 or more SurePost going to the same address.

Yes I know. They are also to be residential only.

Time for the union to step in. But they won't. Still counting kickback money from the contract.

Its a big joke. The future employees will lose,big time.

One less route. They would rather spend a dollar. To screw us out of a penny.

If we have 1 regular pkg, we're suppose keep all Surepost pkgs.

between 4 post offices we deliver to in our center a minimum of 400 pieces a day that used to be our work which equates to possibly 2 routes a day extra...and we r a small center

We have pallets of crap that goes to the P.O.

Do you know for a fact that all 400 pieces would have been our work?

Maybe not..but probably a lot would have or should have.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Less than half...maybe.

 

[upschuck]

Has anyone seen a bunch of Sureposts that have been delayed a day, for us to deliver them with another box? I think they started that this year.

That's part of our new contract.

It's not perfect in our hub but we are seeing more surepost being delivered by drivers. I know they hold surepost pkgs when the system identifies a ups package going to the same address. I'm not sure how many days they hold those surepost pkgs though.

One.

But have you seen that happen?

Every day on my area.

From what I understand, 1, that way there is no delay in the packages transit times.

I don't really buy that.
The packages are to be diverted if there is another package for that stop or adjacent to it.
The idea is that there is no additional stop or drive time for redirected Surepost packages.
The additional time for an additional package is spit.
The additional time for a walk next door is less than a minute.
But if you want to bitch about about, I'm cool.

Sure post is for home stops not business.
Paying the post office to deliver 50 packages to a business is not saving money., its job elimination. And it is against the contract.
