[QUOTE="TUT, post: 881111, member: 29298"] Looking this over, this is UPS's answer to Fedex HD. This is one time Fedex having multiple pickup/delivery drivers pays off some. I do see an issue where you have a package with a 2 hour window for delivery when you are a single driver delivering all packages for an area. Where in the Fedex HD world that is all they do, home delivery, much more nimble. However regarding time definite deliveries I believe those are services not used often. The biggest reason's are cost, but even more so, most companies don't have shipping options setup for orders to accept these additional services where the buyer enters the time they want it delivered, they just don't exist often, like 1 in 1000 sites have these additional fields needed to collect proper data for shipping. It sounds much more sexy then it is used in practice. That said it's a way for UPS to have a check box now next to Fedex where it's been empty for a lot of years now. The one thing that wasn't matched was the free Saturday delivery of Fedex HD. [/QUOTE]
