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.

Th US is the only country I know of that does mail pickup.

Just for the record UPS is not mail- that’s USPS- they’re a parcel and freight delivery service. UPS doesn’t go to every address every day (‘Cept Sundays,) the same way the mailman does.

For residential… yeah, UPS definitely going to be charging since that’s a random and probably out-of-the-way stop. USPS will take postage-paid parcels/letters at the mailbox since they’re there.

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

They didn't used to. 🤷‍♂️

Ups used to not do pickups at residential places ever. If you wanted to ship something you’d have to take it to their service center.

The only people that get regular pickups were places that had enough volume going out to justify swinging by on a schedule.

I did know that, but they have very confusing acronyms

Most courier companies will do regular daily or scheduled pickups from business accounts.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

If there’s enough volume, sure. But they’ll charge you if it’s a one-off type thing.

In Germany you can give you mailman letters and small parcels, since DHL is owned by the geman mail

Like pickup requests? Can you not mail a letter by leaving it sticking out if your mailbox?

UPS, not USPS.
