OnTracWS - OnTrac DirectPost |
Scroll |
OnTrac DirectPost combines OnTrac Ground with the final mile delivery network of the U.S. Postal Service (USPS). Shipments thus bypass many of the traditional steps in the USPS process and are delivered directly to local destination USPS facilities. This makes the process more efficient, giving customers faster access and guaranteed delivery to the USPS without the additional cost of Ground delivery. OnTrac picks up the package and the Post Office delivers it faster with less overall handling. Additionally, this service provides optional tracking capabilities for more precise arrival times.
Notes:
•Shippers who ship a minimum of 500 small, lightweight packages per day can use this service throughout OnTrac's eight-state service area.
•Some information in this topic is taken from the OnTrac Web site.
