[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4272330, member: 63706"] "In order to retain existing commercial customers that are solic- ited by a competitor offering services similar to those described herein, or to attract new commercial customers, the Company may offer service contracts that include the delivery of packages by the USPS." You guys seriously don't realize what these lines mean? If there was any doubt about the purpose of this section, in paragraph 5: "The Joint UPS/IBT Competition committee will meet on a quar- terly basis to review the progress of this service and discuss poten- tial technological enhancements that will allow Surepost volume to be placed back in the UPS system for fnal mile delivery." This was a concession meant to help UPS compete with other providers who use the post office for last mile delivery. If competitors stopped offering such services, the purpose of the section becomes moot and invalid. Do not confuse what I am saying here with me saying that FedEx is dropping smartpost entirely. Simply that [I]if[/I] they did, this section should be challenged. [/QUOTE]
