[QUOTE="Brown287, post: 664356, member: 14940"] I would love to know what the real profit is for each Ground package. Think about it they need to allocate a piece of revenue for each step of the journey. The disadvantage that this creates is that you cannot consolidate expenses. It is true that UPS owns all the machinery and employees all the employees but that gives them total control over the cost structure, which FedEx does not share in. For example when it comes to fuel UPS has the advantage of buying in such great bulk that they are able to obtain a lower price. I understand that currently their setup allows them to not be on the hook for all the liability that does not mean that wont change. There have been many lawsuits against the Ground model, and yes not one has completely ended it, but they all have resulted in a little bit more regulation. Just curious on how long the honeymoon will last. [/QUOTE]
