  1. UPS and FEDEX {have|have actually} {typically|generally|usually|normally} charged shipping per {package|bundle|plan} {based on|based upon} the weight of each {package|bundle|plan}. {But|However} with the {current|present|existing} ground networks being as {big|huge} as they are now and most {areas|locations} in the U.S. covered, they are both now {focused on|concentrated on} {building|developing|constructing} more density into their existing {routes|paths}.
  2.  
  3. {One of|Among} the {biggest|most significant|greatest} {costs|expenses} {associated with|connected with|related to} shipping and {delivering|providing} any {product|item} on a truck is the {number of|variety of} stops that truck {has to|needs to} make. Let us take {a simple|an easy|a basic} example. {How much|Just how much} time would it {take to|require to} {deliver|provide} 100 {packages|bundles|plans} to 100 {different|various} {houses|homes} on the {same|exact same|very same} street versus {delivering|providing} 100 {packages|bundles|plans} to 1 {house|home} on that street. Those 100 {packages|bundles|plans} get {picked up|gotten} by the {carrier|provider} at the {store|shop}, {run through|gone through} their {sorting|arranging} {facilities|centers}, {shipped out|shipped} on {delivery trucks|delivery van}, {and then|and after that} {delivered|provided} to each {destination|location}. Each of the {factors in|consider} this {equation|formula} would be {equal|equivalent} {until|up until|till} the last. The {same|exact same|very same} {amount|quantity} of {packages|bundles|plans} would be {handled|dealt with|managed}, {virtually|practically|essentially} the {same|exact same|very same} {amount|quantity} of miles driven to get the {packages|bundles|plans} there, {but|however} much, {MUCH more|A LOT MORE|FAR MORE} time to stop at 100 {houses|homes} than {just|simply} 1.

  5. So fedex and ups {have|have actually} {decided|chosen} to {give|provide|offer} volume {discounts|discount rates} on orders over 200 {lbs|pounds} and {multiple|several|numerous} {packages|bundles|plans} to {entice|attract|lure} {customers|clients|consumers} to do {bigger|larger} {shipments|deliveries}. This {adds|includes} {packages|bundles|plans} and sales to the ups and fedex existing ground networks with {very|extremely|really} little incremental {cost|expense} to them {because|since|due to the fact that} the the {number of|variety of} stops on the truck do not increase.

  7. I {wonder|question} {how long|for how long|the length of time} it will take the post {office|workplace} to figure {simple|easy|basic} things like this out? Do they {really|truly|actually} {need|require} to {deliver|provide} {daily|everyday|day-to-day} 6 days a week. If they {delivered|provided} Mon, Wed, and Sat {instead|rather} of Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, they {could|might} cut their {delivery|shipment} {costs|expenses} by 50% and still get the mail there in {virtually|practically|essentially} the {same|exact same|very same} time. {Of course|Obviously|Naturally}, we are {talking about|discussing|speaking about} {a government|a federal government} entity and unions with a monopoly on {mailbox|mail box} {delivery|shipment}, so I {don't|do not} {expect|anticipate} that {brainchild|creation} of {an idea|a concept} to come to {fruition|fulfillment} {any time|whenever|at any time} {soon|quickly}.

  9. {Anyway|Anyhow}, back to the multiweight program. There is one {advantage|benefit} with the multiweight programs that fedex {has over|has more than} ups. Fedex {pools|swimming pools} the orders together for volume {discounts|discount rates} on a single day on {delivery|shipment} zipcode. So if you have 10 {packages|bundles|plans} at 30 {lbs|pounds} each going to the {same|exact same|very same} zipcode on the {same|exact same|very same} day, the {packages|bundles|plans} will {qualify for|get approved for|receive} the multiweight {discounts|discount rates} with FEDEX {even though|although|despite the fact that} they are 10 {separate|different} orders. As far as I {know|understand}, ups does {not do|refrain from doing} it by zipcode yet, {just|simply} by address.
