Is it true that SurePost is going to be eliminated?

[10:30 resi]

At PCM this morning center manager told us starting 12/30 UPS will not be redirecting any surepost packages to the post office and we will be doing the last mile delivery on all surepost. He also said that UPS is increasing price for shippers on surepost 38% to try to encourage them to ship ground instead.

Interesting.

UPS to hike SurePost rates, delivery area surcharges

The service will see higher increases compared to last year as it navigates higher demand and changes at the Postal Service, which it often relies on.

No need to worry I'm sure the company will hire more drivers to handle the extra volume

People who aren't on the 9.5 list are going to get crushed with surepost

It's funny. We can't make anyone happy. People hate surepost because it's taking our and helping rural deferment. Then they are told its going away and they lose their minds over that too.

Lol

Wonder how long it's going to take for them to realize how bad Saturday delivery is?

It's the abrupt end that bothers me. No new staffing and they do it when 9.5 isn't active.

Surepost going away will be good for us I'm just anticipating some growing pains

Exactly. Keep UPS packages on UPS trucks. File 9.5, every time you can. Get them to bring more drivers on.

In the long term I can see USPS poaching a lot of it. In the short term think they will layoff?

UPS will keep increasing rates on residential deliveries and shippers will go to Ground Advantage.
