[QUOTE="MC4YOU2, post: 1429466, member: 5485"] Amazon does what they do, which is to retail, quite well. Any major deviation from retailing has a inherent risk. They may add services to set themselves apart from competitors, but investing in a large behemoth shipping fleet and crew would be disastrous. I read a story about the Heinz ketchup company and how years ago they used to make not just the ketchup, but also the bottles and caps and absolutely everything involved in their business they could to control "costs" and still could not control things. They got too spread out. They now contract out everything, like Amazon was doing a few years ago. A company like Amazon or UPS or Heinz has to decide what it's going to be good at. Then it has to hire out the other stuff. It's why ups doesn't build airplanes or package cars. There are so many companies who can beat their ass at it, it would not pay in the long run. [/QUOTE]
