Your PO turns the SurePost around the same day?

Yes, I know I'm working late.
Lots of the smaller ones do if we get there early.

Are you not amused?
Looks like Christmas was able to sneak up on your center too.

Sure post sucks. I've heard it from my customers now I've experienced it first hand. I ordered something online and I received the ups tracking number but what I failed to see was the PO tracking number also on the ups website. Well I got a notice yesterday in my mailbox saying I had a package at the post office I HAD TO GO PICK UP before 5pm. WTH? I guess they don't make 3 attempts ? My package went thru my center right under my nose. I coulda had it the day before if it wasn't for sure post. What a joke. Now I know how my customers feel and what a lousy service that is. It only adds a few days to the whole process. No wonder the PO is losing money

All good until someone goes into a 7-11 and breaks into the lockers at 1am while the cashier is sleeping or in the back...then 7-11 isn't going to want the liability...just wait and see.

What language...that we can't have a 90lb sure post pkg....I don't think the union has ANY idea how much of this stuff is going to the post office....The language is weak on this and the union has taken a blind eye to this because of the uptick of hiring lately but this is ridiculous almost every resi pkg on my truck for my neighborhood is surepost...

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
How much liability would there be? 99% of stuff if insured for up to $100

It's 10 lbs. and honestly I don't think even ups knows how much the shippers are screwing them on this deal. I deliver a ton of 15+ lbs packages everyday to the post office that say 1 lb on them.
If you're delivering them what are complaining about?

I can't believe the post office makes hardly anything on these packages. Just the sheer amount of truck space and the number of people that touch them has to eat up the $1 they get per package.

and they have capacity.
The package can sit there for days if they don't.

Not the post offices I deliver to. Hell I have to leave stuff on the outside dock because they can't fit it inside.

If they say p. o. Box and no street address this is why the over 10 lbs are going to the post office. Talk to the part timers and have them clerk those with a black and white label. I want those on my truck to deliver to the houses so I physically work less and drive more on my country route.
yes there is.
the new language in the master outlines this. The language could be stronger yes and the union should go after this because it equals jobs! There will be more dues coming in as we'll. what's the holdup!

I think there should be a percentage of pkgs that can go to the post office...does anyone have a random idea how many might have gone to the PO this year...it has to be in the millions just a guess in the dark

These aren't PO box packages. These are packages obviously over 10 lbs that the shipper puts 1 lb on so they can go surepost.

No. They can't make hardly any off it.
