[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 726977, member: 12570"] Brownie, bbsam has some really good points that merit our consideration. Our price point is either at or near a level that has customers researching other options for shipping in an effort to control costs. Brand loyalty only goes so far. Look at your own shopping habits. Do you always buy the name brand or do you buy the generic knowing that it is "just as good"? This recession will have a lasting effect on our economy and, in regard to shipping, I think you will see shippers continue to look at alternatives. It was brought up in another thread that a survey of commercial customers had been conducted and appearance of the delivery driver was not considered to be a factor when selecting a carrier. The bottom line--cost--was the number one factor and it is this that may very well shape the future of UPS. Try getting a sales lead and you will see what I and bbsam are talking about. Better yet, go to your local UPS Store and ship a package---make sure to bring the big checkbook. We are not cheap by any means. [/QUOTE]
