[QUOTE="worldwide, post: 864383, member: 2193"] "So what does UPS get to take the package from the shipper to the Post Office?" Not much. Are there opportunities to use all techhology to maximize deliveries in densely populated urban areas? Sure, always way to tweak and improve. Fedex Home Delivery and SurPost are meant to meet the needs of residential shippers and the majority of residential deliveries are to surburban, rural and super rural areas. More of those verus densely populated areas so it makes sense to concentrate on the majority of the opportunity. "Sometimes you have to read between the lines on these quarterly reports and earnings statements, in conjunction with front line experiences, to get "the big picture"." Can you elaborate on what your are inferring? Is Fedex Ground growing at a faster pace than UPS ground and at higher profit margins? How long has that trend been happening? Where have the majority of the packages in the FHD and SmartPost systems come from? You can choose to drink the union koolaid, but it does not change the facts. [/QUOTE]
