[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 906181, member: 927"] I understand and I share your concern. However, it is still driven by the marketplace, and consumer expecations. Everyone wants free shipping, but shipping is not free. OnLine retailers are asking for this "no-frills" service.... No guaranty. Additional 1 to 2 days transit. No 3 delivery attempts. It is designed to respond to FedEx Smartpost and appears to be a better product than theirs. As long as the demand remains for a cheaper delivery alternative, UPS must look at the best way to respond to the demand. Maybe shippers will offer an upgraded service on their website? Maybe UPS will offer consignees to upgrade to a UPS delivery service while the package is in transit? In either case, the consumer will need to pay for "free shipping" [/QUOTE]
