You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
You do understand that the post office agreed to the terms of the agreement also don't you? No loophole.

I know what you're saying but there was a time when ups would never of thought to give the post office our work

You mean that time before fedex (our #1 competitor) started doing it?

This wouldn't be our volume. It would be fedex volume more than likely. Not saying we'd be bankrupt no but I'd rather have ups get $5 per package than zero. The ups workforce would be less than it is now if we didn't have surepost.
I don't think ups abuses surepost as much as the shippers do. Do I believe ups needs to get a better handle on surepost and kick more of it out to the drivers? Yes I do.

I'm not 100% sure that every sure post customer came to ups saying we want to be part of surepost...This has been pushed by the sales dept....and what's to say we couldn't be undercut by this service by FedEx anyway....If they want the volume they will give shippers a ridiculously low price using surepost or not.

Why would they do this? Other than to keep volume that would of been lost it makes no sense.
Sales people don't generally keep their jobs by pushing products with the smallest profit margins.

Why arent the majority of the surepost packages in bags?
I wouldn't have to spend 15 minutes tossing and scanning, just like 5 minutes to scan a few bags.

Do you know how long It takes to, sort bag and tag surepost, The only reason they are bagged Is, to eliminate routes.

No, I'm an off the street hire. Just been wondering about this. Why are some in bags and most not?
Size of the package. and lack of time and resources,to bag them.

Has anyone taken the time explain the how/why Of sure post even exists ? Who benefits from it etc ? If someone does take the time to explain it quote me so I don't miss it.

Simple. FE started Smartpost and UPS copied it to try to keep up.
