Plan better so its not packed

for the most part I do, I do my christmas shopping between Aug-Oct

dvups = driver UPS ?

Yes, that is correct.

As far as avoiding the USPS handoff, ask the shipper if they are a "sure-post" account. If they are, ask for a premium service (3 day or better) or don't order from that company

They need to open it for pickup at these local hubs

Certain hubs you can pick up such as at the Arlington hub. If you go online and sign up with MyChoice or call it in you can usually have it held for pickup at the hub. Some packages have sender restrictions on them not allowing them to be picked up in which case you need to contact the sender and have them lift the restriction, it can be a pain.

I had UPS deliver to me on Sunday yesterday. First time for that.

Go to Best Buy and purchase yo stuff. No on-line ordering = no shipping!

UPS is delivering packages with a golf cart and a uhaul mini trailer in my neighborhood every day the past few weeks.

After the ice storm combined with the holidays UPS is waaay behind. I was talking to one of my distributors and they told me UPS had to fly in 1,000 employees into the Mesquite hub to catch up. When I just shipped some packages at the UPS hub in Arlington they had a cop hired to regulate, apparently people have been getting unruly about the delays...

We haven't seen delays on our FedEx parts at the office except for 1 where they tried to deliver at 945pm last friday night. Long after everyone was gone.

Is there a way to ensure that UPS/FedEx doesn't hand your packages off to the USPS? Just like above, I purposely spend more to avoid using the postal service, and have even not made purchases from eBay sellers and certain companies due to not wanting to deal with the damn postal service. Having them deliver my shit after paying more to avoid them chaps my ass.

Go directly to their authorized ship centers.

I had a package with Fed-ex take 4 days to go from Irving to Coppell. Then another two days to go from Coppell to Denton to be delivered.

My dad was told by the local(ABI) UPS hub that they currently had 15 semi-trailers in the yard they were working through as fast as possible. Between the Christmas rush and the storms a few weeks ago they are WAY behind.

I've had a package sitting on a trailer at the hub in Mesquite since the 17th

Maybe its faster to just fill trucks up and send them out since they are still recovering from delays.

This.

After a weather delay, especially during peak, you just asshole and elbow everything into any truck that runs with a driver that has a pulse just to get it out.
