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.
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.
