[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 1070974, member: 13921"] No kidding. It would be beyond stupid for UPS to buy the PO. Not only are they not profitable, buying the PO would make UPS the largest courier in the US. Currently Fed Ex has contracts with the PO that a buyer would be forced to honor. That could mean UPS people delivering Fed Ex packages. Not gonna happen. An acquisition that would have made sense would have been UPS buying the Santa Fe Railway. Before their 'merger' with Burlington Northern, UPS was SF largest customer in terms of dollars. There were many industry experts that thought UPS could bring a new level of sort efficiency to railyards. On paper, it made a lot of sense. On paper, buying the PO makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Suggesting it shows a lack of intelligence about the shipping industry. [/QUOTE]
