[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 1896439, member: 13921"] That is not their plan. Their operating plan is to deliver to major metros that have warehouses nearby. The rude awakening is coming from mid size package companies that are not interested in handling Amazon volume as there is no profit in it. The regional based in my area has told them that they would carry their volume at their retail price list (which is higher than the deal they get through us.) I doubt that Amazon will go away entirely for either UPS or FE. I suspect that volume growth from them will slow down and maybe even shrink in some markets (currently seeing some urban volume in our center going away but the rural volume is staying the same.)
