Career UPSers, let's talk money

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

I always loved when you bought one of those 250 dollar textbooks only to find out the author was the professor teaching the class. Feel good extorting your students professor?

And you never had to use it either.

My son spent $500 on one and never used it.

By my junior year I'd wait until the third week or so and buy the books I knew I would use.

For some reason he refused to sell any of them back, preferring instead to keep them as a reference tool if need be.

I dust them off once a month.

Selling them back is just as much of a scam. Here is 12 bucks for a 200 dollar textbook. Or they didn't use them the next semester.

I p/u and del to our SUNY bookstore. Book buyback is a very sore subject with them.

The USPS's struggle with small package is getting it from Point A to Point B. SurePost removes that issue.

They obviously struggle a little with the final destination part also. That's why they are operating 7 days a week now. It's the only way they can get it all done.


I know the package sector is where the growth is but they just aren't set up to handle it.

I've yet to see a carrier on Sunday around here

Must have been a book on socialism.

And they don't charge enough for it, just to get the volume.

They are still subsidizing parcel revenue with first class revenue.

Around here all the time. Mostly Amazon packages.
