This is not the same as a shipper sending a parcel to a post office where the shipper has not paid for "last mile" delivery. The "last mile' is one thing but to remedy a problem they also accept packages not part of the program. Without charge. I routinely ship a lot of stuff to the post office that isn't part of the program. Since there is no way for me to know they encouraged me to do that. Providing a few free services is a common business practice to entice customers to purchase more. It is often cheaper and more effective than advertising.
