[QUOTE="2years2go, post: 622373, member: 10008"] UPS receives very little revenue on a basic package. Customers who ship basic understand that we will only make 1 delivery attempt. For every Package that is not delivered on the first attempt, UPS loses money on the package. In most cases the package gets loaded back into the pkg car, unloaded again back at the center, loaded into a trailer, unloaded again on the preload, resorted, reSPAed and loaded again into the package car. Then a drivers again has to drive to the location, stop and deliver the package again. The customer did not pay for this service. They have agreed (to get a very low rate) that we should take it out once and get it to the location on the box. If we have 10,000 drivers all bringing back 2 basic stops per day, that's 20,000 stops that we just artificially created. That puts at least 100 more cars on the street, increases our costs needlessly and prevents UPS from providing lower rates to our customers driving more volume to our competitors. If you are concerned about your customers, keep their rates low and do what we are suppose to do with basic packages...Thats why they are "Basic" [/QUOTE]
