[QUOTE="104Feeder, post: 1244083, member: 42554"] Hoaxster, in regard to Amazon I'm reminded of why a friend of mine said he wouldn't sell to Costco. Costco demanded that he meet certain volume requirements and accept returns for any reason. He said that if Costco wanted to they would terminate the agreement leaving him with the additional product and expanded manufacturing facilities with no one to sell to. I think UPS is big enough and has a good plan to reduce our size (which we unfortunately were able to fully implement during the Great Recession) if we were to tell Amazon to take a hike. It doesn't seem like Fedex would be able to do that as efficiently. Perhaps the answer lies in returning to our roots of small Mom & Pop garage businesses and stealing customers away from USPS that use the flat rate BS for eBay shipments. I hear lots of complaints about our high prices, maybe they wouldn't be as high if we weren't just breaking even on Amazon. Well, at least I'd like to think they wouldn't be... [/QUOTE]
