By contrast, does USPS sort everything, in effect, downtown? For example, there is a huge USPS complex south of Union Station in Chicago, obviously there because of RPO's in the past. Why are the transit times so much longer?Īlso, would anyone care to explain the basic difference between FedEx/UPS for packages, and USPS for packages? As far as I know the former have distribution centers on the outskirts of major metropolitan areas with convenient interstate and rail access. I presume USPS ships by rail - is it any significant amount? If I send a letter cross-country, will it be TOFC most likely? Would a package be any different? Hearing that, I'm curious of the logistics -įirst, I hope to clear up the basic issues - does USPS treat packages separately from their mail system, or is it all sorted in the same facilities? Can it all then be shipped in the same loads i.e., will USPS send out bins of mail and pallets of packages on the same truck? last Friday, Dec., was our cutoff for Christmas shipping. Some customers still chose to ship UPS, though. Call me ignorant, but I did not even know you could send packages USPS! We pile high several pallets a day of small boxes (7x13x13 is the largest) and even get one of their box trucks to pick it up.
I'm working for a small online retailer near Waukegan, IL, and was surprised to find that they switched over to USPS for packages from UPS, because of lower rates. I see that there is some serious logistics knowledge on this board, so I'd like to ask about USPS shipping.
