If I remember correctly, the last time I did post office, I could not CIR the stop and had to get a signature.

I think he was making a joke.
It is all shipper release so why are we getting a sig?

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
Right it's a special deal for the post office. We can DR any shipper release at any other address.
Don't get me started on the CIR software. It's a joke. I have to use the touch screen or touch 3 extra buttons and I have to get a signature at commercial stops with surepost packages now.
So you're telling me I can DR the packages but I can't CIR them. Yeah great work on that software. Smh

When it first came out we used to DR rural post offices all of the time.

Not...
I would have reminded that Post Master that your taxes pay her Salary and that she is not doing the her job. I then would have reminded her that the post office loses billions of dollars every year while UPS makes billions.

OK. Worst case scenario would probably be USPS sues UPS for millions over breach of contract,
and then cancels the Surepost program altogether whereupon the vast majority of the surepost
volume and the regular ground and premium UPS volume that Surepost helps to anchor flees to
our competitors.
Here is an article written by a sure post customer supporting my point if you are interested :
Pros and Cons of UPS SurePost, FedEx SmartPost
The salient point of the article is this -
"SurePost and SmartPost are available to businesses that ship at least 50 packages per week. In my ecommerce business, I found this volume requirement easy to meet by shifting from USPS Parcel Post and Priority Mail to UPS SurePost."
Note the shift to Surepost from packages that had been given directly to the post office. Shut off Surepost and they, like most Surepost customers, would just shift back or use FDX Smartpost.

As to this, I think you have me confused with @TearsInRain. I have not personally browned up in 2 years.
But I can tell you with absolute confidence that were I to brown up, there would be no overallowed. I could
run any route in the country absolutely scratch. I would bet that TearsinRain could as well.
and that would make the score 2 for us and 0 for you, or put another way, your score would be coded 0-2.
(see what I did there, code zero-2, get it?)

Yeah, that would have helped to resolve the situation.

The next time you are at your local Target swing by their shipping area and you can see for yourself why they are one of the biggest abusers of our Surepost size and weight restrictions.

That is a whole other can of worms. Yes, we should be better at enforcing the size and weight restrictions. But if we push too hard big customers like Target can threaten to divert volume to FDX and Smartpost...

Can't we "upgrade" them to ground and back charge them for the difference?
If you did, FDX would absolutely follow suit.

How hard is it to create software that doesn't even allow for surepost labels to be created for over 10 lbs.

Actual, dim wt, or both?
