[QUOTE="Brown287, post: 634632, member: 14940"] Around 2000 there was an article in Business Week about UPS and FDX and thier differences. Among the things they discussed in the article, like the cost per package to deliver a package, and at that time are cost was half of the expense that FDX was. They also described UPS as a "cash cow". You see they said that UPS can borrow money at a smaller interest then they recieve from keeping thier liquid cash in savings. Simply put it actually cost UPS money to spend thier own money versus borowing someone elses money. I wish I knew the excact date the article came out, but it was quite an intersting read, and quite informative. [/QUOTE]
