[QUOTE="TUT, post: 1073237, member: 29298"] I've been telling people on the Fedex forum this. There isn't this Fedex Pricing Advantage. As a shipper that uses both high volume and knowing my industry, it's actually known UPS doles out better prices in general. But sometimes Fedex steps up with a better price, sometimes not, we are talking comparative services. And then she mentions the regionals, I'm telling everyone at UPS and Fedex that is your threat. Their rates in general obliterate the big 2. Their regions are growing and Amazon is putting a warehouse in every region, connect the dots. Now from 5,000 feet you would think with lower wages Fedex could undercut UPS. They probably could, but if you listen to Fedex Shareholder meetings, in general they want profitable business, they also have much more limits (reading between the lines) on how much volume they can actually handle. They aren't in a position nor want to be in a position to just go out and buy all the business. They are actually limiting themselves. I've also told the paranoid Express'ers that their Sales team is in no way underselling Express for Ground's benifit. In fact they are trying to do what they can to get more Express. It's just Express business is simply not what it was, like anything related to airlines seemingly. This is the market and progress at work... it does stifle/kill industries. [/QUOTE]
