Hi, all, So items shipped do not get delayed in case of a UPS strike, Auburn has already been making the switch to FedEx for anything that would have been sent or returned via UPS.
AAA switched to UPS from US Mail in May 2021 due to logistics with our local Post Office and up until now, have been satisfied with the situation. We are under the university’s
larger account with the same incentives which are significant so expediting will not be a problem. USPS from our partners is understandable and we continue to be grateful for the generous number of loans. Hoping for the best, Gail

On Behalf Of John Burger
Kudzu-Ops Friends: Please see the query below from Nicholas at KLG regarding a temporary switch to snail-mail for Kudzu shipments while we wait-out the possible UPS strike. Is that an acceptable solution for the group, given the
extenuating circumstances? Please reply to all with your reactions / ideas. Thanks! Kind regards, --j.e.b.

I’m planning to halt UPS shipments after Tuesday or Wednesday of next week unless the news indicates an agreement is likely. FedEx is a non-starter for our institution, can we send these snail mail until the strike is resolved if it happens?

Good Morning John, ALM will use USPS “Priority Mail” as an alternative to UPS if UPS goes on strike. The delivery time for priority mail will be quicker than library rate for USPS. We would be able to track items if necessary.
Please let me know if you need additional information. Best, Cornelia Cornelia Davis | Director

On Behalf Of John Burger Greetings, Kudzu-Ops Friends – There’s much speculation in the news about a possible nationwide strike by UPS drivers, potential as soon as August 1. For those of you who use UPS for your expedited deliveries (for Kudzu and/or other agreements),
do you have ideas on how to maintain service timelines during the strike (if it comes to pass)? Please share your thoughts. We can set up a quick huddle via Zoom if needed as well.
