I cannot figure out how some companies determine how deliveries are
managed. I just received a switch for our Nordictrac treadmill about
20 minutes ago. Low-end switch with a $3 price tag plus $7 shipping.
It came UPS! I checked the tracking about the time he pulled in the
driveway and when he handed it to me it was its 11th transaction. The
package was a small padded envelope about the 2/3 size of a deck of
cards. Even the UPS guy said he didn't understand why they didn't put
a stamp on it.

Logistics. Less trouble and less expensive to use a single company that
will pick up on a daily basis than to hand deliver to the shippers
location, if the size of the package you got is the exception.


USPS will pick up - even at residences.
