abuzz since the acquisition in February, and many customers are already benefi ting, late summer and early fall are going to be the most exciting, says Chock- lett. “It has taken several months to get everything organized.

to risk customer satisfaction on a later delivery by the USPS. In a forum on autionbytes.com, one retailer men-


tions that they would rather pay high rates, which would still be less than FedEx and UPS, to keep the six day system and to avoid a slowdown in delivery, saying, “We mail a lot of packages on Saturday, with the expectation of Monday delivery. That would now be delayed to Wednesday. Customers expect rapid delivery with normal service.
