We are a high-volume shipper. Our limits were per-account, not per-location nor would drop-offs be accepted and treated in any way differently.
I suppose that we could ship as much as we wanted paying over-the-counter full-retail rates, just like anyone else could.
In contrast to the retailers stories in the article, these limits were not a surprise to us. We’ve been planning for months to accommodate this and I think our main carrier (UPS) did a great job of communicating, even as things were somewhat being defined.
