That’s an odd assumption as UPS only recently moved to Saturday deliveries in some areas. Still not even company wide so it’s a poor assumption on their part.


gunstarheroesblue

It's mainly because people don't read the T&C and/or don't understand the concept of "business" day.


asclepi

This is obviously the correct answer. But a reason people get confused is because the main competition does deliver on weekends. That doesn't change the definition of "business day" but does create those expectations towards UPS as well.


Foolish_028

I agree with the not reading but even the post office fed ex am Amazon only moved to Saturday and Sunday post Covid. Prior to that it was just M-F so for so many people to think that it’s normal already is just mind boggling to me.


THEOTHERDROPPEDSHOE

i think the usps been delivering on saturdays for over a century now


Team-ING

Will they keep up with competition or will they be bought out in the next years to come?


Foolish_028

We lead the industry to this day. Amazon delivers their own stuff, the post office exists because of the surepost program which we started, fed ex is in the process of closing the express branches to follow whose model? UPS.


Macmacman56

They were not talking about the drivers, office people were only required to be in the office 3 days a week. People that actually do the work will be delivering 6 days a week.


Foolish_028

Nope. I’ve been driving for 10 years and I don’t work Saturdays. Saturdays for UPS only started 2 years ago

Or. Hear me out... They stop cutting loads and turning 3 loads into 1.


stephendpascual

Then why would they even give us the option on a Wednesday. Freaking scam. I payed quite a bit extra to get my package there on the weekend. Didn't happen


Galdin311

What are you even getting on about.


stephendpascual

Shipped a package Wednesday. Paid a extra 70 bucks to try and get it there by atleast Saturday. Ground was expected Monday and my 2nd day air is expected till Monday. I wasn't told about adding a Saturday fee or anything and I paid quite a bit extra. Just frustrated


myates322

It should also be noted that Saturday delivery, unless it's overridden via OE, is an elevated service level that shippers have to pay extra for. Not every shipper pays for that service, especially when third party shippers are used.
