We use to have our "own" USPS distribution center here in Asheville. They closed it down a few years ago. And now UPS has a deal with USPS to hand off packages to them in Greenville to deliver to Asheville. How is that working?
Example:
UPS usually gets my package, usually a guitar, to deliver from the West Coast. I track it across the country where it is transferred at 2 or 3 distribution centers where it takes 3 or 4 hours to transfer to a different truck. They then drive thru Asheville to get to our distribution center an hour South in Greenville. When they hand it off to USPS in SC, it "hangs around" for a couple of days in their warehouse before they send it back to me in Asheville.
