[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 1077563, member: 13921"] It was probably also in the agreement that they allow our sales peeps to contact all the people that ship stuff to them and convert them. If they were die hard FE clients, they may get a UPS account to ship things to that customer only. We have lots of accounts that have done that. FE started the trend 10ish years ago with hospital accounts. We lost a lot of healthcare business but have been gaining some of it back (anecdotal evidence only) because FEG cannot make early commit times in hospitals that are longer distances from their sort centers. A hospital on a route I used to cover got their stuff from us at 9:30ish (air and ground), FEE at about the same time and FEG at 1400-1500. It did not take long for us to get that hospitals incoming volume back. That advantage will go away as FEG gets more volume and better delivery densities. [/QUOTE]
