UPS and USPS both?

[rebelcowboysnb]

Can someone explain the logic in this.... Ordered something. They shipped it UPS, not to my home but to my local post office where they put it in the US mail.... I know that adds a day to the shipping an I'm lost as to how that saves money so, um, why?

I've seen that before. I think it depends on the destination that the post office will contract out some of their delivery to UPS.

That made me so crazy recently. You can track by UPS, but then, they hand if off to the P.O. and you can't track past that point. Took a week to get something that should have taken two days (fabric ordered online). Can't imagine the logic behind it. Talk about INefficient!

Well normally the truck out of Dalton delivers strait to me so I should have had the box today.. So I sit around waiting on it...... So now at the very least it will be noon tomorrow...

All the mail from our biggest city goes to the next biggest city a bit over an hour away before it is delivered right back to the city they picked it up from.

Yep and so true. USPS and UPS both deliver out here to us in the sticks. Fedex won't. Gee I thought my dogs were being pretty friendly to the fedex guy last time.

I have a package coming fedex this week. I know it will arrive later than their tracking says it will, because they'll hand it off to the post office to deliver. I'm not going to complain though, it was free shipping.
