Thoughts on UPS
Jun 27 2008, 1:43 PM EDT
During our conference call we also discussed UPS as a delivery option. Some regions are already working with UPS CampusShip. UPS is the "cadillac" of delivery services. The challange is negotiating a flat-fee rate that would be atrractive to participants. One member of our group mentioned that UPS CampusShip was not a viable option for her library because they already got a better deal through SUNY. That led us to wonder who would have the authority to negotiate with UPS on a statewide level - i,e, who is it that would be able to go to UPS and say "I can offer you a contract with all the libraries in the state"? And looking at it the other way, who is it at UPS who would be able to negotiate at that level? Previous attempts to negotiate a "state" rate with UPS have been frustrating, but who were they talking to and what level was that person at?
