[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 430751, member: 484"] short and long of basic a very large percentage of the cost of a package is the delivery at the end of the transit. especially if it is way out there. basic allows us to garner volume that makes it through our system (giving jobs to hundreds of people along the way) with the last leg going to the post office, not the consignee. that way, we get the lions share of the package income, without the last leg expense. the postal service does not have a good distribution system for packages, so we get stuff there usually much faster. those that find fault with basic say we are giving jobs away by not delivering that last leg. that view is very short sighted, and does not allow the consideration of the thousands of jobs that basic does bring to ups. if those individuals got their way, those jobs would be lost, as the customers would just not use us. period. so while we might not get all the revenue off those packages, we get a lot of it. as for the refusal of the packages by the postal service, that does not reflect on us, we are not the ones that would not complete the delivery. it is their issue. after all, they are totally pissed that we get the lions share of the revenue, while they see themselves as having to do all the work. so yeah, they are the short sighted ones that end up giving the postal service a black eye. which in the end will mean more money for us if we live up to our end of the promise. d [/QUOTE]
