[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 1025606, member: 22880"] I've received some further info on this. This product is going to be Express product, that is going to be offered solely to select shippers on the coasts, in an attempt to strip away UPS volume. Now what is really interesting, is that in the current world (Express possessing 3rd day service), this "alternative" service is redundant. So what this tells me, is that this service has been implemented in ANTICIPATION of Express dumping its Express Saver service, but wanting to maintain it for a very select group of shippers. Another thing I was told, was that this service WON'T be publically advertised, it will be offered from FedEx sales DIRECTLY to targeted shippers, in order to either gain or keep their volume within Express. So.... If there are any FedEx sales types reading this forum, chime in on this newest, unadvertised, service offering. To me (assuming the source is correct), it is a smoking gun indicating the imminent demise of Express Saver. If my source on Express Savers' end date was correct (12/31/12), then the "dots line up" yet again. If anyone personally knows someone in FedEx Sales they can ask about this, please do so. Getting independent confirmaton on this would be interesting. [/QUOTE]
