[QUOTE="brownIEman, post: 5659480, member: 14596"] No UPS would not need 5 million employees, at 40 million packages/day it would need about 1 million give or take. From '97 to now UPS could have easily grown the network that much. Threatening to not deliver Amazon packages would not in any way have stopped Amazon from building its own delivery network. That is just fantasy. Likely UPS refusing would have accelerated the build up of Amazons network. Amazon has plenty of capital to spend (remember, Amazon does not pay it's share holders). UPS could have nearly 100 percent of the Amazon volume if UPS could have figured out a way to provide full delivery service seven days a week, 360 days a year (far fewer holidays). It took UPS years to start delivering Saturday ground, and I believe they still cannot in some locals? Imagine if they tried Sunday delivery... UPS total volume has dropped the past 2 years. Not sure if that's an effect of the pandemic bubble, or the start of a bigger trend, but we'll see. [/QUOTE]
