We do $100K/year with UPS, but we can't get our invoices mailed to us.

[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 581341, member: 4886"] Occasionally what can and does happen is the pkg comes out of the trailer and it literally is touching the pkg behind it (or ahead of it). So the scanner think the two pkgs is really one bigger one. This sounds like that problem. To minimize this mistake we have multiple scanners in multiple buildings. When a pkg gets scanned by more then one dim wt machine, UPS takes the smallest size of the pkg. Are there mistakes made? Yes. But overall, it's really accurate. The problem we have is that our costs are significantly impacted by the size of a pkg, many customers don't enter in information accurately, and that's why UPS switched to auditing the pkgs. We find their are literally thousands of shippers each day that play a game of catch me if you can, which we often do with these scanners. However, occasionally when an error does occur, it can impact negatively a shipper who does the right things. [/QUOTE]
