[QUOTE="TUT, post: 1475228, member: 29298"] Price is easily the most driving factor. Cost control is huge at UPS, it is almost everywhere else to. UPS and Fedex are competitive with each other. There is no rule of thumb saying one is cheaper than the other. Each can discount whatever they want, sometimes a carrier losses more business then they want and they become hungry, this could be an area or the whole operation, the bottom line means deeper discounts being handed out. There is a lot that goes into pricing a customer and not all is logical. However I will say if a carrier doesn't have the business and can come in and show they can save someone 5-10%, they are listening, they are paid to save the company money. [/QUOTE]
