[ILL-L] UPS only or are you flexible?

[Williams, Kathy]

My media bookbands say something like: "Please package securely in a box. UPS preferred, if possible."
I'd certainly accept Fedex and hope the "if possible" insinuates that -- I'm looking for tracking capability, too, as mentioned.

I request that libraries return our materials via UPS but accept any trackable shipper.  I feel that as long as we can track a missing package it doesn't matter which shipper is used.

Hi all,

I just received a question from another list and thought I would ask you all. I've wondered this too so figured this would be a good chance to clear things up for me.

When you request items you've loaned to be returned to your library by a specific ground transport company, do you have a problem with libraries when they return items by another ground transport company.

The person asking said they get a lot of requests to return items by UPS, but their mail room doesn't use UPS any longer, just FedEx.

Is a different company a major problem for you or does it not matter?

Thanks!
