UPS shipping?

[PBRstreetgang]

Hello,
I am wondering, does UPS allow reduced fare shipping for 121 pilots. I need to ship some springs and if I have to pay by the pound its gonna be a
deal breaker.
Thanks
PBR

You don't even get a deal if you work there.

And they use the "It's a Great Place to Work" slogan.

Isn't there a phenomenal FedEx discount for most 121 operators?

Well, I think it is... I too wish we had a discount on shipping and I too wish we gave that discount to other part 121 employees. However, personally I think 100 years of being a profitable business is more important to me than whether we get a shipping discount or not...I believe there are close to 500,000 employees at Big Brown, that'd be lots of discounts to give...
Of course, I would never complain if one day we offered the discount after all...

Yeah I think it is the same discount we get. 75% or so. Not sure how you use it.

Take your 121 ID into any Kinko's, they'll look your airline up on the computer to verify authenticity and then give you a 75% discount on air shipments, not ground.

This might be a recent change but as of last year they’d only give the discount at Fedex main shipping centers, Kinko's was not allowed to give the discount. I was helping a friend who was shipping a few boxes last year and we went to Kinko's first with no luck. It worked at the shipping center though...

ups does allow you to go to the ups store and pay much more than on-line or a ups facility.

(you allow me?! what?!)

I received an interline discount at a Kinko's about three months ago.

Actually it's not a recent change at all. I used to ship from a Kinko's in 2002 as long as there was a FedEx agent in the store. Not long after that they bought and or trained Kinko's employee's to take care of interline discount shipping.
