Best pick ups of the week

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

If you ship online it won't let you send an envelope ground.

...but it will allow you to send that same "envelope" ground if you enter 1 lb for the weight...

I picked up a next day air on my route and it was going to a pick up that I was doing later. I delivered it, it showed up late and I got talked to. Late? My ass. It's a day early!

Ground same day delivery? No problem.

NDA same delivery? Nope.

I have several pick ups that I pick up nothing. Those are kinda cool.

Have you tried converting them to Smart Pickups?

Nope

Frigid, as a supervisor what would you say if a driver picked up one of these packages and delivered it the same day? I assume its frowned upon because they arent paying for some special same day delivery?

I love doing same day deliveries as they drive my center manager crazy.

Technically we are not supposed to as the tracking has not had a chance to be updated prior to the delivery being made.

That's above my pay grade. Plus I like stopping by and saying hay.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Nope

You should---it would save them 50% on their pickup charges and would save you from having to drive there every day for nothing.

Sounds like you are all about milking the clock.

My helper and I had 69 stops done before lunch and I will have guarantee pay on my check for the day.

That's a lot of effort for something that will be quickly forgotten.

It was pretty funny though you got to admit.

Either Monday or Tuesday I did a sweep at a UPS store and there was a padded envelope with orientation stickers pointing up and an orm-d sticker on the front and on the back the orientation stickers were pointing to the side. I dont know what was worse, the arrows going to different ways or the fact they put orientation arrows on a padded envelope.

And a construction company sent a 2DA envelope to a business less than a mile away. Why not either just hand deliver it or at the very least just sent it ground because its gonna be there the next day anyways haha.

I used to make a pick up that once a week sent a two day envelope to a center an hour and half away. It was so dumb.

Select "other" for package type. You can print a ground label for an envelope.

I just had this happen a couple weeks ago. I texted my sup to make sure it wasn't an issue. He gave me the okay to deliver it the same day.
