[QUOTE="upsdawg, post: 103771, member: 2020"] There is always going to be UPS store drama------not all Franchises are going to approve with the vision that UPS has-------I remember when US Office (American Office?) owned MBE prior to UPS--not all of the Franchises agreed with the Corportate Vision of MBE-------and when the mother ship (US Office Supply) was about to file chapter 11.......which would have left MBE owners flat on their.......faces---UPS came along and bailed them out and is now going in a different direction. UPS is trying to control any new ASO---there won't be any, unless it is a chain.....Postal Annex.....Box Store---but there will be no more mom and pops to compete with the UPS Stores.I would also hope that UPS is always looking for partnerships with AT&T--Computer Companies--whomever to make the UPSS the only drop off locations------also, and it has been awhile--I remember a special rate to the public for shipping from a UPSS to a UPSS which would be lower than the published rate-----the intent is to get more foot traffic into the UPSS locations........and while they are there----copies--Private PO Box---Shipping supplies----more $$$ for the francisee So much for the ongoing UPSS Drama!! I am more concerned that the pressure is on FedEx to have a better quarter than UPS------they are ass-backward in how they report their quarters so it is hard to compare our Qtr earnings with theirs-----but they projest a rosey outlook that the rest of the year is going to meet anaylists expectations---and believe me they will do everything in their power to pull it off. FedEx passes off higher fuel costs to customers--but they can't pass them all off---so I will wait and see what they report----and all things being equal, if they do have a great quarter and meet or exceed Wall Street expectations, than, and only than, will I second guess UPS Corporate's vision. UPS is still showing record profits--and not be up to WS's expectations--but it sure meets mine--and makes me feel confident in where the company is going!! [/QUOTE]
