That’s not UPS’s fault. The shipper is to blame. They get a cut rate cost if they start off with UPS and then indicate that UPS can transfer to USPS. Midway, the sporting goods dealer, does this and it drives me wild because I can see the UPS truck drop off the packages at the Post Office and I have to wait until the next day to get mine. Other shippers do this also -— Mrs. TaMoDee has the same with one of her dealers.

Almost every day, Monday through Friday, UPS and FEDEX both have trucks going by my door. What you’re saying is it’s cheaper for UPS to carry an item part way and hand it off to the USPS for final delivery than to do it themselves - doesn’t make sense to me. It seems it’d be easier to send it one or the other all the way.
