[QUOTE="Livin the Dream?, post: 578363, member: 21891"] No - I get it. I just don't like how UPS is presenting it. If there are two legal ways to do something, and you happen to pick the less expensive way, you are creative, bold, entrepreneurial. If you make a mistake and use the more expensive way, you either live with it, or change to the less expensive way. Not UPS - if you are UPS, you claim the other side is cheating. If you are UPS, you try & change the legal option taken by a competitor into a non-legal option. If you are UPS, you call the legal option that the competition took a "cheating legal loophole". If UPS would say "look, it is distasteful, but we can't get out from under the union noose, so we have to hobble the competition with the same thing. Hey, it's easier than just beating them on service", then at least I could respect the honesty. But what UPS is doing is being, for lack of a better term, a bully. Win the competition on the field you made for yourself. Because, like it or not, FedEx is doing nothing illegal. UPS is trying to change the rules to put the competition at a disadvantage. And, sorry, to me that is distasteful. No, I know the issues. It is UPS, people on this board who are ignoring the issues (to say it kindly) or just blowing smoke. [/QUOTE]
