![]() So these smaller hubs/branches focus on specific zip codes and all the other boxes go into semis and get delivered to the bigger distribution hubs that have in excess 100 ups trucks. Some UPS facilities are too small to sort all the unique zip codes and don't have enough trucks to send them to specific areas. This is in part because UPS is a Union and can negotiate hours and days which they work.Īs far as shipping goes, people don't understand why their shipments sometimes go in the opposite directions or go past their address when shipping packages. UPS DELIVERY BY END OF DAY DRIVERSThere are some saturday drivers that leave the hub, but if your package is not on a truck then don't plan on getting it. You don't have any of the main loading guys or unloading guys, past usually 2-4 AM. ![]() They don't count saturday for normal shipping since only a skeletal crew works at the hubs mainly just drivers. I use to work for UPS about 6 years ago so I can answer a few questions here. The other reason for my crankiness is that its my 40th Bday and I was hoping to have a great Bday day. I feel that they should at the very least allow me to go to the local UPS center and pick it up saturday or they should just plain upgrade the shipping to saturday delivery which they have! Not sure how that affects the consumer but I called my etailer, TigerDirect, and they said after I receive the item to call them for a refund which I definitely will do because ground 3 day is cheaper and would have come just as fast as this so called 2 day air. Unless they have signed a contract that waives their right for a 'GSR' in exchange for cheaper shipping rates. ![]() If for some reason they are late in delivering by 1 minute the shipper is allowed to file for a 'GSR' which is a guaranty service refund. I was doing a little research on this and it seems that they guaranty two business day where Saturdays and Sundays don't count. ![]()
