[QUOTE="'Lord Brown's bidding', post: 2400237, member: 32753"] They've They have a long way to go before they are even a league below FedEx and UPS. Who are the shippers that will use Amazon's service? They are in competition with almost everyone. Amazon, last I heard, makes up 15-17% of UPS volume. That's substantial, but it won't break UPS if they leave. Other shippers might be wooed back since UPS can offer better, more efficient service given all the improvements made to accommodate Amazon, but without them clogging up the system. Some may not know, but in addition to Amazon Target, Costco and Walmart asked for UPS to begin a Saturday ground operation. Walmart right now primarily uses FedEx Ground, but let's see what happens when UPS' Saturday Ground operation stabilizes. In addition,there are other shippers out there who will probably expand shipping through UPS or even be attracted to for the first time once Saturday Ground begins, let alone other consumer benefits like being able to track one's package in real time. UPS already offers this to MyChoice customers on Air products,and with the preload moving to scan every package loaded onto cars the infrastructure is being put in place to expand this. Amazon has a long way to go. [/QUOTE]
