One Response to “UPS Hates Coming To Your House, to Begin Tacking on Surcharges for Residential Delivery”
Side note: I ran into our postman as he was working on a Sunday back in December. I asked why he would be delivering on Sunday and he replied, “Amazon.” Apparently Amazon worked a deal with the USPS to deliver packages while paying OT to the postal workers. The postal workers were not particularly happy about it – they’d rather have the time off than the extra pay, which explains why they work for USPS. No doubt UPS took a hit on this business. Well played, Amazon.
