I don't think we will profitably be able to do it under the current contract. That's what will prevent it.
Amazon Sunday delivery via LaserShip

Orion inc.

And laser ship and the USPS are losing money hand over fist on Amazon volume. Everyone is. That's why fedex and ups are either going to tell them to go elsewhere or actually raise their rates.
Amazon is about to hit a reality check on their costs soon.

I so want them to do it themselves. They'll quickly realize the delivery business isn't a cheap one to be involved in.

I think I could work Saturday and Sunday and have off two days during the week. It'd be nice to go places without long lines and huge crowds.

This would be a logistical nightmare for any dispatcher in a big center. In our building we have multiple industrial parks that have less than 10% open a weekend. So how do you dispatch that ground? Or how about this, office building with one address and all suite numbers yet most are closed on the weekend?
They have this issue during holidays that are not National, some opened some closed yet it always seem they hold a certain address and some buisness not closed complains why they didn't receive a delivery. saturday ground unless it's a special service would cost far too much and fail.

That's exactly what I thought - Saturday would be like a holiday. Even with a special Sat. ground designation UPS would try to push everything for that address through to consolidate the stop into one delivery day. Or 5 special order boxes designated Sat ground to Walmart would turn into a 80 piece ground stop with the supe telling you to just find someone to take it.

It just amazes me that in our building we are ridiculously heavy on Wednesdays and every other day is so so. I wish we would go to a Saturday ground delivery that would put me in the road more

This is nuts. I wish we had more drivers so I was on the road less!

That's why you make Saturday Residential only like FDX HD.

Our center manager use to let full timers take unpaid days and cover drivers would be able work. Not anymore sucks

Last peak from Thanksgiving day to Christmas day we at our center worked and delivered ground on Saturdays... And thanks to that it was the sweetest peak ever... I'm pretty sure they where testing waters to implement that down the road on the next contract... I'm already Tuesday to Saturday so I wouldn't mind that. I actually preferred it that way.

You didn't mention in your first post anything about residential only. Now read my post and after you seem to say that's what you meant all along?

It's a logical next in our services. If you don't think so that's fine. But our competitors are doing it and some are even doing Sunday. We're next.
