[QUOTE="purplesky, post: 594418, member: 23628"] There are only 2 real players in the package industry and UPS and FDX will both survive. The Post Office is going bye bye in the next 10 years or so. They are not equipped to handle parcels and the cost to make that change will not happen and the carriers cant handle the work anyway. THE REAL SCARY THING FOR UPS is the fact that BOOKS,MOVIES,MUSIC,Software,etc. will soon be a digital file and no longer a package. We are talking alot of volume that will be gone soon and thats going to hurt. THE GM comparison does not work. They made a product and we provide a service. GM tried to do too many things and got slammed by globalization and with no car buyers in the this economy its bye bye time. Buying a car and airline travel used to be a purchase that Americans didnt think twice about but those days are gone. Getting a package from Sprint,Target,TMO,HSN, Express Scripts, Amazon, etc, will continue because thats how America gets their stuff. Sure somebody could come along and make a run again like DHL but in a shrinking economy thats hear to stay why would they be succesful when DHL couldnt do it with their foot in the door already and billions of dollars from the German Post Office.
