Does the union know how much volume is going to the post office???

They (USPS) dumped it out in front of me.
This has happened many times. Almost always see packages that should never be given to the USPS.

Yep 35... The language is a scam

That must have been a recent change as we were told that SmartPost goes directly from the shipper to the PO.

To post office is also getting a lot of volume straight from Amazon. They have put a hurting on lazership.

This is something I have a lot of trouble with. The USPS has a built in cost advantage of going to every house anyway because they have a monopoly on the mail service.

They should not be allowed to compete with us and fedex or at the least not allowed to undercut our prices.

We don't deliver to PO Boxes.

The packages have the post office address and then a box number..same difference

Our local post office refuses any non-Surepost packages addressed to them. For the most part the consignees are Canadians who really don't know how our postal system works. They will call to have them put on hold at the center.

Qvc has been sending po boxes to the po.. They don't do any checking of boxes that come in so maybe they are slipping through...I am still finding businesses and similar streets that I have ground for...absolutely 0 proximity stops maybe your center is a "test center"?????LOL

I have had single package sure post stops everyday this week. Some were proximity, some were too big for sure post.

I guess you could call it the scraps because the po in your center are probably still getting the bulk of it...a few stops here and there isn't going to put in additional routes...am I wrong??

That is exactly how new routes get put in. I have been on a 'cut route' everyday this week. Today's route had stops off 4 other routes; yesterday's was from 5 routes.

I remember at least 4 packages today that had AC labels on them. Those are packages that the clerk as decided does not belong in the surepost bags.
