Comment on UPS has started charging for pickups even if you have a prepaid label

Just for the record UPS is not mail- that’s USPS- they’re a parcel and freight delivery service. UPS doesn’t go to every address every day (‘Cept Sundays,) the same way the mailman does.

For residential… yeah, UPS definitely going to be charging since that’s a random and probably out-of-the-way stop. USPS will take postage-paid parcels/letters at the mailbox since they’re there.

US Postal Service has some sort of deal with Amazon now, I have gotten Amazon packages delivered by my regular mailman on Sundays. I hope he’s getting paid well for that.

  They’ve been doing this for awhile now, and I’m certain they personally receive nothing extra for it.

  Ups used to not do pickups at residential places ever. If you wanted to ship something you’d have to take it to their service center.
  
  The only people that get regular pickups were places that had enough volume going out to justify swinging by on a schedule.

I did know that, but they have very confusing acronyms
