  + stars: | 2023-07-12 | by ( Emma Cosgrove | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
FedEx sent a memo to its delivery force encouraging security awareness in the event of a strike. Unlike unionized UPS, FedEx uses a network of small businesses that contract out its delivery routes and make package deliveries. A FedEx spokesperson told Insider that alerting delivery contractors of potential disruptions is normal practice. A Teamsters spokesperson dismissed FedEx's memo as "scare tactics to capitalize on a possible work stoppage at UPS." Who gains from a UPS strike?

☆ Financial fraudsters are targeting postal workers to steal their mailbox keys, so USPS is trying something new
  + stars: | 2023-05-13 | by ( Bethany Biron | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
USPS and the Postal Inspection Service announced it is cracking down on robberies and mail theft. Incident rates of attacks against mail workers and theft from blue collection boxes are on the rise. But less talked about is another issue: Thieves targeting postal workers themselves. Robbers specializing in financial fraud schemes are increasingly stealing mail straight from the hands of mail workers, or stealing their keys to mailboxes. So the United States Postal Service is implementing new policies and security efforts to curb the worsening problem.

☆ New data shows who's winning and losing as companies like UPS, FedEx, and Amazon battle for fewer e-commerce packages
  + stars: | 2023-03-27 | by ( Emma Cosgrove | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
New data from Pitney Bowes shows Amazon was the only major carrier that didn't see a drop in 2022. In 2022, delivery companies shipped 21.2 billion packages — 2.2% less than in 2021 but more than 37% higher than 2019. When retailers have less package volume to spread around, the big guys get persuasive with their discounts, Ramachandran said. But in terms of package volume, it was the only major carrier to hold its 2021 package volume in 2022. Like UPS and FedEx, Amazon may also strategically choose not to grow package volume, but not by turning down customers.

The Teamsters Union has threatened a UPS strike when its contract expires in July. UPS CEO Carol Tomé has repeatedly said that a "win-win-win" is "very achievable" for the Teamsters, UPS employees at large, and the company, despite the union's spicy rhetoric. But even the threat of a UPS strike this summer, which would be the first since 1997, is already driving some UPS customers to look for alternative shipping options. Carere also suggested that FedEx is not interested in serving as a temporary solution for UPS customers. FedEx customers were alerted to the March 31 in a letter distributed earlier this month.

Target is making an additional $100 million investment in speeding up delivery. Adding at least six new "sortation centers" will position the retailer to deliver more online orders in one day. Next-day delivery would make Target faster than many Amazon orders in certain markets. This store-as-warehouse approach has helped Target orders reach customers across the US relatively quickly using the company's existing retail infrastructure. This year, the company expects to move 50 million packages through its sortation centers, doubling 2022's count.

The complaint specifies Johnson is suing Staab “in his individual capacity.” Johnson is seeking a jury trial and unspecified damages, according to the filing. The complaint contends that Staab's affidavit violated Johnson's right, afforded by the state constitution, to "be free of unreasonable searches and seizures." Staab then used that claim as the basis for the raid, according to a copy of the affidavit obtained by NBC affiliate KUSA of Denver. The filing claims that Staab "acknowledged to Ms. Johnson’s children the harm his DPD officers caused to Ms. Johnson’s well-being, home, and personal property," but that he told them the police department wouldn't pay for repairs from the search. Neither Staab nor the police department apologized for the raid, according to the complaint.

Roughly 60% of retailers said they're making changes to existing returns policies, with fewer promising free returns, according to a recent survey of retail executives.

A New York City fugitive who had been on the run for almost a year was vacationing at Disney World's Animal Kingdom Theme Park when he was spotted by an officer who recognized him, according to court documents. Jeff Andre, a federal officer with the United States Postal Inspection Service, was on vacation Oct. 20 at the Florida theme park when he happened to spot Quashon Burton. Officers approached Burton after he left the Orlando area theme park, where he gave them a false name and resisted arrest. "Perhaps the most concerning factor here is the defendant’s persistent use of false identities and his demonstrated ability to evade law enforcement," wrote United States Attorney Damian Williams. Burton will remain in custody pending trial in the Southern District of New York, according to an order from United States District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan.

My savings strategy is simple: I transfer money out of my checking account into an online savings account with a higher rate of return — and then pretend it doesn't exist. The savings strategy that has consistently worked for me is the one where I transfer money out of my checking account, put it in a separate, online savings account with a higher rate of return — and then pretend like my stash doesn't exist. AdvertisementI then repeat these steps until my savings account gets to where I want it to be. Though it wasn't always fun to feel like I didn't have cash, I liked seeing my savings account grow. These days, I know how much I want to have in my savings account.
