We use to the phone books that people would order until we screwed that up. More parcels more jobs.

I probably had 20 to 30 of these on Friday. Actually didn't mind them because they didn't take up much shelf space so it made my truck feel more empty. Also they were easy enough to walk off using 1 arm, no need for equal opposite diagonal corners stuff. Oh and didn't have to worry about trying to disguise them with urban camoflauge.

Sounds like they were processed by SCS or Mail Innovations employees at the shipper.

Good point...as annoying as the catalogs were...the RH boxes are much heavier!

We will never know but would be curious if RH's catalog gamble will pay off. Between the printing and shipping, RH might be lucky to break even though the merchandise is high end.
BTW, I had 2 catalogs that were going to apartments that get left with the office. Both residents didn't live there anymore so had to give to the clerk. That lazy POS clerk kept on sending it back on my route all week, I finally gave hell on Friday.

We get trailers from lots of shippers dropped by contractors all the time. Amazon, Zappos, Omaha Steaks,etc.
The trip from origin to CACH is prob the least profitable part of a packages journey. Fuel, wear and tear on the vehicle, the vehicle itself being dedicated to just one run, and at least one driver. Better that expense fall to others.
Once it's on property it's all ours until it gets to the front door. I have no problem with it if it gets us volume.
Think of it as a customer dropping of a package at a customer counter. Same idea.

Catalog companies would love to have a 5-10% response rate but plan on a more realistic 1-2%.

I've had that same talk with that same lazy PoS. Is always the ones where the shipper doesn't want them back like sherries berries, gift baskets, flowers etc. Ns#? Lazy clerk kept sending because didn't want to deal with it.
We had a little chat last peak after getting the same rancid box of strawberries everyday for the 2nd week. It got better for a while. Guess he's back to his old tricks.
