[QUOTE="upsdawg, post: 519684, member: 2020"] UPS vs FedEx rates------most of the Fed Ex customers are on some type of special discounts.UPS is very selective regarding discounts---and it always comes down to "Cost to Serve"--this is where FedEx kickss our butts because their cost (mostly lower labor costs) is much lower than UPS. I feel that we provide better service--and we need to continue to do so---but when it comes to the bottom line---customers will give up some service to save $$$$$$$$$$$$!! We recently lost the State of Calif to lower rates---a ton of business---also Federal Gov't uses FedEx because of much lower rates they can offer-------------if UPS would come in and lower their rates below FedEx--we would be sued for predatory pricing------as in charging rates that are lower than our cost to serve!!
