I have a UPS Ground prepaid label to return the cell phone that I’m trading. They told me it would be $10-12 to schedule a driver pickup, else I can take it to a dropoff location. When did this start? Boo, UPS. Boooooo.

Edit: To be completely fair, it may be that the destination decided not to pay extra for driver pickups rather than this being some new UPS thing. I don’t know the inner workings.

    UPS doesn’t go to every address every day (‘Cept Sundays,) the same way the mailman does.

    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.
