Why Doesn't UPS Have Same-Day Delivery Yet?

[Wally]

With UPS yesterdays stuff still don't get here until 7 p.m. the following day.

Oh no, that's tomorrow's stuff.

The way UPS has gone downhill with their service FedEx Ground would have came along without a UPS strike.

Downhill?

This should have been bit in the ass a long time ago. The first one that rolled this out should've told the consumers to STFU instead.

Swizzle is going to fix this.

You just watch and see

Downhill?

You don't think so? Half the year there are no or extended commit times. Trailers are left unloaded and nobody seems to care. From what I read on here if a driver sees a snowflake he calls off work. Same with any bad weather. Trucks aren't washed-drivers look like homeless people. YES- the company has gone downhill--BIG TIME.

But the company is making record profits who cares.....

Yet independent third parties are still saying UPS % on-time is better than FedEx Ground. It will be interesting to see what they report in the next month or so for May-July results.

"From March through mid-April, about 87% of FedEx Ground shipments arrived on time, compared with 95% for the similar service at UPS, according to ShipMatrix Inc., a software provider that crunches parcel shipping data."

FedEx Still Struggling With Late Deliveries

The delivery giant’s performance lags behind UPS, data show, as a pandemic-fueled e-commerce surge overwhelms its network.

It's really easy to be on time when you don't have any guarantees....

This is going to totally be scab labor. It would absolutely be done with pvds.

 

[Est.1998]

While two-day delivery largely became the norm after Amazon.com made it a key (and free) pillar of its Prime membership program, the e-commerce giant continued to push the envelope, adding one-day and same-day delivery -- and even, in some markets, delivery of certain items within an hour.

If Amazon can pull this off, i wonder why were still delivering their stuff and fulfilling their call tags

 

[Indecisi0n]

Do we still have off Black Friday ?

ShipMatrix is measuring % on time against what the stated time-in-transit should be under normal conditions so whether or not the guarantee is in place is irrelevant for purposes of their measurement.

BTW, FedEx does not have their ground guarantees in place either and only turned back on their next day guarantees after UPS did first.

We need to conquer one thing before we start another

Just think if the place was managed right how much they could make.

[What'dyabringmetoday???]

They have two that put together make less than one UPSer.

UPS has been going out of business for at lest forty years...
