[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 980072, member: 22880"] Sales has been under FedEx Services for quite awhile. Look for more Express employees to be moved under the FedEx Services "banner". Its all about margins, what I've been saying here for quite sometime. They were correct about the dispersion of warehouses across the country. Take Amazon as an example, they don't use a single location, they use multiple locations. When an order is received, their computer system automatically checks the inventory of the closest warehouse to the ordering ZIP code - and fills the order as much as possible from that location. Then it checks the next closest warehouses for inventory to fill the order if the closest cannot. This is why a single multiple item order from Amazon may ship from two or more warehouses. [/QUOTE]
