[QUOTE="Mike23, post: 565042"] Since we're talking about UPS stores, I did some time in ECS when I was having back spasms. This is the really stupid part about the stores (other then us letting them go independent and confusing EVERYBODY). If a customer wants to pick something up at the UPS store the CUSTOMER has to call the UPS store and let them know something will be dropped off for them. They're charged $5 for it. Now, I'm not a rocket science major but would it not be easier to contract with the UPS store (since they make about $5 on these pickups) that say we'll make the recommendation TO the customer they have it shipped to a UPS store and have it picked up there? Then every referral made in this way UPS gets, lets say, .25 cents or something out of? This does a lot of different things for the company: 1. It adds to our profit 2. It makes us seem like a 'nice' company to the UPS stores for giving them business 3. It allows convenience for our customers 4. It allows convenience to our drivers. The UPS store routes will have a bit more bulk but they're going there anyways! [/QUOTE]
