So annoying that UPS or Fed-Ex charge for a pick up

[Accords 4U2 NV]

especially when they have packages they are dropping off next few days. the UPS by us is a shit show every time, it's very small and in a residential area that sees a lot of traffic.

if they didn’t then every lazy fuck on your route would slow down the truck that much more

I’ll happily pay their pickup fee, when it’s worth the convenience, also if you have account with them you can give them a package without scheduling pickup if they are dropping off and they’ll back bill you accordingly

Werd, they should do more work for free.

This. Plus $10 is worth not wasting my time taking it to a drop location or UPS store.

my local CVS is a UPS "Access Point" so I just hand them to the cashier and they instantly get scanned in.

 

[crontab]

yes. all the matters throughout this process is the pick up of the item at your house. the rest happens by magic and doesn't need accountability, records, tracking, scheduling, capacity planning, etc. parcel's are not size of envelops.

having a UPS store near your house is a great convenience. i just drop it off, there, since i pass it many times per day.

at work, i just leave the ups package by the door and the driver will pick it up next time they are here, which is basically daily.

fedex is another story, i try to avoid using them whenever possible.

I ship car parts almost daily and have for years. Most go USPS but medium/large and heavy parts go UPS. I don't have a UPS daily pickup, but anytime there is a UPS delivery coming to me, I simply put the package out for the driver with a note saying "UPS PICKUP" and he grabs it on the way back to the truck. I've only ever encountered one driver too lazy/oblivious to take the outgoing package with him.

I've never had a single charge for pickup on my account.

You can give a package to any UPS driver and they will take it without charge.

 

[Cold Brew]

You guys must be dicks, my UPS guy gave me his cell number and I just text him when I have a pickup. No charge

 

[Swiftie]

pickups are free if they are dropping off

If your guy is charging you to take a package when he's already dropping one off, he must really hate you

yep, being a little nice goes a long way. During the summer I'm always hooking them or Fed-Ex up with bottle waters or a beer. Now I can text either one and they always make sure to drop my stuff off first thing.

we get two deliveries a day at my office so I just drop my packages off with my admin and let her hand it to the driver, he doesn't charge and just takes them if they're labeled

it's not the driver, it's the system, it will scan that it was handed to on a delivery route, and the charges automatically apply

just like if you put the box weighs 2lbs and it really weighs 20, they'll catch it when it gets to the sort center and your bill will be adjusted

welcome to 2020

 

[smell my finger]

you want them to just do shit for free?

This is not accurate.

If you ship enough it's free.


Or they won't scan it in until they get to a scheduled pu. Then it didn't look like you requested it.
