they are taking the steps to do so and it's obvious. they just bought shipping companies in europe, they are buying trucks, cargo etc......

They are on a quest to rule the commerce world.

The question is when do you think this will start effecting UPS and our jobs?

So, are you going to quit and go work for Amazon?

I'm not.

-Amazon only accounts for 1.9% of revenue and .07% of profit

Amazon is moving to become more self-sufficient and increase their margins. Good for them.

When I started JC Penneys was our largest account and now they're not - I still have a job.
We use to do a lot of stuff for JC Penney.
I wrote a program to interface with PPRS and we would FTP a file of their deliveries to them after the preload and they would have a printout before the driver arrived.
When I was in Corporate, one of my first projects was the old suitcases with a printer that interfaced with the DIAD via a DOI.
Later, a project was to eliminate the hardware of the Print at Stop suitcase which we replaced with Delivery Link.
All these were in direct demands by JC Penney.

BTW, the name Delivery Link was thought up by me ... Corporate Communications stalled around and did not come up with another name so I went with Delivery Link.
They bitched at me for years for publishing and copywriting Deliver Link without their input and approval.
