I’m sure that some of you are aware that UPS is facing a potential driver strike at the end of July. While this is going to be a problem, I’ll still be doing my best to ship packages using other delivery services.
UPS handles about 50% of all package deliveries in the US…A strike here will definitely have an impact on businesses like mine, and even if I continue shipping via FedEx or USPS, their systems will become quickly overloaded, and delays, damages, and lost packages are going to be on the increase.
I intend to stop shipping with UPS on Monday, July 24, to ensure there are no packages in the UPS system prior to a walk off.
I know this is going to test everyone’s patience. Lets hope this either doesn’t materialize, or resolves quickly after it starts…a strike is not what UPS wants or needs.
Thanks everybody, for hanging in there with me.
