36 of my consignees are also in my pickup log.
Not true the receiver does and will control who delivers if they so choose. They are the ones that pay for the products we move. I know what you are saying is true, but that is not complete facts. If UPS, FedEx, or USPS. Screw up bad with something on my property I contact the shipper and tell them that I don't want them delivering again to my property.
At that point I am the number one customer to the company and shipping company.

You must have not ordered much recently?
The days of ala carte delivery options is long gone, aside from projected time in transit service levels.
.... especially in the SurePost sector of the business.
If what you say was still the case, FedEx would never darken my doorstep.

Bully.
And it gets there when it gets there.

We had MI boxes sitting around for a week or so waiting on pu by them. Got a bunch more laying around waiting for pu again.

We’re being told that either we’re going to get slammed hard, or volume is going to drop considerably. Under 5 yr drivers were told to plan for the worst.

Told us Monday that USPS didn't renew the contract and starting today there'll be no more surepost.
What’s going to happen to the packages in the system

We’re going to deliver them
The customer for everyone in this business is who we deliver to. The supplier is the person shipping it. We don't move the product. We move a tracking number to the customer. We don't pick up from a customer and deliver to a supplier.

My bulk sheet was 100 packages lighter today. Probably have 7 or 8 more stops than usual.
If we can't track down their physical address we have been instructed to RTS them. The postmaster at the PO I deliver to had zero idea.

Not sure about that one. We had a bin full of them.
Some of the stuff is going to be a pain dealing with. P.O. Boxes etc.

The customer for UPS is the shipper, the person that pays us to deliver their goods.
The consignee, the person or company we deliver to, is the shippers customer, not ours. We don't go to the consignees to try and drum up more business. We go to our customers, the shippers, to try and get more business.

Why would there be post office box? UPS doesn’t deliver to post office boxes. Those would be returned to shipper bad addresses.
I don’t know. I just noticed we had a bunch of them in the bin.
It’s going to be an interesting week.

UPS has the physical addresses linked to most PO boxes on file and will deliver them there instead of the post office. After charging an address correction. They only return the ones they can't figure out where to deliver.

Interesting I’ve always been told by clerks that they are instructed to return to shipper.
