My first thought on this is FED EX is trying to tie up UPS with this specifc element of the delivery chain. Think of it as us sendind PITA low profit tee shirt business to our friendly competitor. The difference her are the optics...there is no way UPS can refuse to deliver to UPS owned locations..ll this low profit off route, PITA or whatever business that FED EX drops has to be picked up by UPS........................... BRILLIANT.......................DILLY DILLY

UPS stores tend to be located in strip malls, or other high volume shopping areas, which, more than likely would afford other near-by deliveries, and, depending on the businesses, pickups as well.
I think that what adds to my confusion is that Fed Ex runs, as two different operations, Fed Ex Ground and Fed Ex Home. I don't know if both are problematic with the UPS store deliveries. (As I mentioned, this is the first time in years that this issue has even occurred, and as I also mentioned, has no consistency)
