[QUOTE="KeepItSimple, post: 88630, member: 5087"] I have a feeling we're going to see an increase of accounts jumping ship as we get closer to the end of the UPS/Teamsters contract. My sister works for a company in NY that ships high volumes of packages and expedited letters between their international locations in France, Brazil and here in the US (Big $). I was able to convince them to switch 90% of those to UPS only. Apparently the UPS sales rep in that area creeps out the women in the office so they moved some volume to Fdx.....(that's another story). Anyway, the two partners in that run the company have made it clear that if the contract is not agreed to early, they are going to sign an exclusive deal with fdx to avoid the loss of service that they experienced during the last strike. This may be a case of the boys in purple using scare tactics but after 1997 and given the fact that there are two other carriers out there promissing the world (and sponsoring holes in golf tournaments), I'd say we're going to see more of this.
